Author Description

After seventeen years of a twenty-five-year career as an air traffic controller, Samantha Sims worked an aircraft that suffered a loss of control from entering a thunderstorm she adamantly advised the pilot to avoid. Understandably, Samantha was shaken up from this experience, but she could not have foreseen how the loss of this pilot's life was going to save hers. Contacted that evening by a coworker and advised to seek help from Dr. Beecham to re-earn her medical certification to return to work, she was blindsided by what the psychologist said to her in their first meeting.
