About

I have spent the last 5 years in a boarding school and as part of my Cadetship, adapting to life away from home. I have experience in watersports instructing and recently obtained my Yachtmaster Offshore to transition into the yachting industry. I am eager to start my first Deckhand role for the Mediterranean season and aim to work on expedition-style vessels while gaining experience to complete my divemaster.
