Amanda Gilroy

I started my career as a Beauty Therapist onboard luxury cruise liners around the world. I worked out at sea for 6-8months at a time over a 5 year period.

After my return to Australia I started my journey as a Flight Attendant with Virgin Blue/Virgin Australia.

Throughout my time with Virgin I have been a buddy trainer to new crew out on line helping them implement their training onboard.

I then progressed to a leadership role as a Cabin Manager for the last 3 years.

With both my careers out at sea and in the air. I thrive in high pressured unique environments and situations. Developing my skills and knowledge in both these roles has help me lead others to be effective and efficient in their roles.

I love working within a large team environment and have the skills to work cohesively in this space. I’m able to delegate and manage situations which arise and perform to a high level in high pressured environment.

My purpose in becoming a leader is to be able to make a difference in people’s journey and support and develop them to perform to their full potential.
