Episode 50- Nisha Venkatesh

Episode 50 is out today with guest Nisha Venkatesh!

Nisha stumbled into aviation entirely by accident, despite having a grandfather who was in the Indian Air Force, a father who built a career in Aerospace manufacturing, and her love for globetrotting. As she was evaluating her options for University, she happened into an RCAF offer to pursue a fully-funded degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Toronto.

After graduating and some training, she was sent to the heart of Canada and the RCAF in Winnipeg – where her tropical genes tried to be friends with prairie winters for 6 years. The air force helped by sending Nisha off to sunny locations like Hawaii, California, and Florida, before shipping her off to Europe for a 6-month NATO deployment. 

She spent 4 years in Colorado working for NORAD, where the weather was far friendlier. Last summer, she found her way to Ottawa as a Staff Officer for RCAF Readiness, where she is fortunate and grateful to work for people who encourage her to push boundaries for good. 

Nisha attended her first CWIA conference in 2017, and joined the volunteer team. She was the Program Director in 2019, and loved the friends she made along the way. As co-chair, she is excited to see you all in Edmonton at the upcoming conference from 22 to 25 June 2022. 

Nisha can be found on Linkedin or contacted through CWIA. CWIA can be found on Instagram @cwiacommunity, on linkedin, or on their website at www.cwia.ca.
