About
I have worked on a wide range of yachts as a Deckhand, Second Officer, and Chief Officer, gaining extensive experience in both deck and bridge operations. Throughout my career, I have served on commercially operated yachts working under the ISM and ISPS Codes, giving me a solid understanding of regulatory compliance and operational standards. I have hands-on experience managing class and flag state surveys, Port State Control inspections, shipyard periods, and new build projects. These roles have strengthened my leadership, organizational, and problem-solving skills while enabling me to work effectively in demanding environments. I am seeking a position as Chief Officer or Captain where I can contribute my experience, professionalism, and strong work ethic to support the vessel, crew, and owner. I am highly organized, proactive, and committed to continuous learning, always looking for opportunities to improve and to learn from every person and every experience.
