Dorcas started her career as cook for NAS airport services and later joined Kenya airways as a flight attendant. With a dream to captain her own flights, she continued her studies to become a pilot until she joined the flight deck team in 2010 flying the Caravan C208 and the Dash 8 fleet in the war stricken countries such as Congo, Mali, Ivory Coast, Juba and Somali. Today, Dorcas lives in Dubai, where she flies the Boeing fleet.
