Hi there! My name is Kristy, maker and owner of Aeroma Candle Co. I’m so glad you're here. In case you were curious about how Aeroma came to be, here's a little bit about me!
I was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. At a very young age, I was introduced to aviation. I’m a 3rd generation pilot after my grandfather and father.
I began my flying journey in 2016 after completing my Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Guelph. In 2016, I trained for my private pilot's license in St.Lazare, Quebec. I continued my commercial training in Waterloo, Ontario. In 2020, I trained for my multi-engine and IFR (instrument flying) ratings in Cornwall, Ontario.
Throughout my aviation journey, I have realized my favourite thing about flying is sharing it with the people I love.
Another one of my favourite things about this journey is all of the incredible people I have met.
After completing training, I flew a private business jet called an Embraer Phenom 300 out of Toronto Pearson International Airport for a small charter company.
In November 2022, as my career was taking off, I began experiencing health issues and lost my aviation medical. After receiving the news, I decided to go travelling on my dream trip to Asia. My dad, brother and friend came along and we met up with my Aunt, Uncle and little cousins who now live in Thailand.
Two months into my trip, I was in a motorcycle accident. Returning home, unable to fly, and taking time to recover, I decided to start making candles from the comfort of my home. Here I am now, full circle, bringing my love for business, travel, aviation and design into the world of candle making!
If you have read this far, thank you for taking an interest in my journey. If you ever have any questions about my products, travel, flying, or anything at all, please feel free to email me at hello@aeromacandleco.ca.
