Bosco Mahony

Proven leader and effective communicator, honed skills in high-pressure environments like McDonald's and the Irish Defence Forces. Excelled in teamwork, adaptability, and problem-solving, enhancing operational efficiency and fostering a collaborative atmosphere. Demonstrated exceptional time management, balancing multiple priorities seamlessly.

Aviation has been a lifelong passion of mine, from plane spotting as a child to completing 2.5 hours of flight lessons and regularly engaging in flight simulations. My experiences in the Defence Forces, McDonald's, and other roles have equipped me with the leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills necessary to excel in a pilot cadetship. While I am currently completing my Leaving Certificate, I have already met the minimum educational requirements through my Junior Certificate (equivalent to UK GCSEs). If unsuccessful, I plan to pursue a degree in Aerospace Engineering to further my career in aviation. I am eager to contribute my dedication and passion to a career in the skies.
