![Scholarships & Mentorships When I first got started as a CFA, I applied and won a scholarship thru Women in Corporate Aviation. This year I was able to pay it forward by donating a Flightess mentorship/scholarship to NBAA for Corporate Flight Attendant skill training (@skyqueen_xo won!!) There are tons of resources in this business aviation community such as NBAA and @womenincorpaviation with scholarships that you can apply to any professional or educational development (not just for CFA’s either!), Women in Corporate Aviation also offers a mentorship programI highly encourage any seasoned CFA’s to sign up as Mentees in the WIC program as a way to honor the help and guidance that you were perhaps shown by someone when you too first got started. Be sure to check out the scholarships on NBAA, Women in Corporate Aviation, as well as this year’s first inaugural POC CFA Scholarship which opens this Fall.•www.nbaa.org•www.wca-intl.org/mentorship•www.poccfascholarship.com [this photo was taken right after I received the packet informing me I had won the scholarship]](https://www.flightess.com/assets/plugins/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png)
An ‘amuse bouche‘ is an appetizer, or a cocktail snack. It means something to tickle the palate, or literally, to ‘amuse or entertain the mouth’
[AHH-MUSE-BOOSH]
Vegetarian or Vegan Passengers? I’ve got you covered. Isn’t it convenient when every component of your Amuse Bouche is completely edible? No need for a verrine, mini spoons/forks. A simple one-bite palate opener. I was challenged with a guest who loved Mediterranean flavors but was a vegetarian and less than 12 hours to design and source my menu. These ingredients are easily accessible from most supermarkets and are quick to throw together (by throw together I mean delicately arrange with the tenderness used for a newborn baby) .
Ingredients
- Snow Peas
- Couscous Salad -Fresh crunchy cucumbers, tomato, carrots and green onions come alive with a twist of lemon juice, honey mustard, and olive oil [ Pre-made at Whole Foods/Gourmet Grocer]

- Lastly, garnish with a fennel fond and edible flower
What makes this assembly easy is having precision tongs to place delicate ingredients- find them here!
