Aixa Torres-Maysonet<\/strong>\u00a0has been a dedicated member of the CASS\/Quality Assurance team with the Envoy Maintenance Safety and Compliance department since 2019. Her extraordinary work has earned her the 2023 Envoy President\u2019s Award.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had the privilege of working with Aixa on Diversity Day at Headquarters,\u201d wrote one nominator. \u201cAixa is an example of kindness, inclusion, commitment, leadership, and vision. Juggling projects, job duties, and personal matters can be overwhelming to most people, but Aixa has thrived and never loses her smile.\u201d<\/p>\n

What inspired you to pursue a career in aviation? Can you tell us about your career path and what led you to your current position?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy younger self never had working for an airline, or going to school to become an Aircraft Mechanic, on the bingo cards. I wanted to be an auditor for the IRS and be a career civil servant.<\/p>\n

So, during a six-month furlough due to government shutdown, I applied to an accounting clerk position, but I feel so much accomplishment and joy with what I do today. I have had amazing leaders that have allowed and encouraged me to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you believe sets your approach to work apart from others?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI view my approach to work as a new beginning to set goals and continuously improve the quality of work I produce. I challenge myself to stay consistent and motivated with getting results and implementing change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Are there any memorable moments or significant milestones in your career that stand out to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy biggest milestone, in a close tie with winning the President\u2019s Award, would be going back to school to obtain my A&P (Airframe & Powerplant) license, which is required to become an Aircraft Mechanic and work on planes.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is your favorite part about working at Envoy? What has been the most rewarding aspect of your career so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe people \u2013 I get to be an extrovert and mingle with the different work groups, but my top favorite thing is that I actually love what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is the most valuable lesson you\u2019ve learned throughout your career?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is always room to grow, knowledge to acquire, and you can\u2019t be afraid of changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Are there any hobbies or interests outside of work that you\u2019re passionate about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am currently in school to get my A&P, so that consumes a lot of my extracurricular time, but I am a member of the North Texas Women in Aviation chapter. I also try to volunteer for Girls in Aviation Day every year (and even rope in a colleague or two).<\/p>\n

I also own a mobile paint- party business that allows me to use my creative side in ways I don\u2019t at work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
