She’s a mum, artist and jack of all trades. When she’s not working, she likes to spend time with her daughter in their mini zoo and sketch when she gets the chance.

Faye has three passions in life, nature, anything prehistoric and Tina Turner. Her art reflects her enthusiasm for these subjects and when she’s not working on pet commissions, she likes to create her own style of colour pencil artwork and the occasional watercolour or ceramic piece.

Faye was diagnosed at 34 with autism (Asperger’s) and the late diagnosis has transformed her life.

 She grew up feeling like she was an alien, she never fit into the norm or to those around her, but she now understands that she’s simply from another planet!

As an advocate for young girls with autism, she feels that too many slip under the radar or are misdiagnosed and therefore do not get the support they require.

Faye’s new moto and one she tries to live by is ‘BE YOUR trueSELF’

In this episode, training continues at the Lagos Flying Club, and I fall out with some private members who know better than I do, when it comes to training pilots, even though they have no instructor qualifications. My secondment comes to an end, and I elect to return to Bristow’s even though I am offered a permanent job with Mobil Oil and I address the peer pressure which is resulting in stressful situations off duty.
