About

With over 11 years of experience in the yachting industry, I am now seeking my next role onboard a professionally operated yacht where my leadership style and skills add value to the program. I enjoy being part of a solid, confident, and happy team and believe that clear communication is the key to success. With extensive involvement in large-scale refits, creating new uniforms, resetting crew areas, managing guest trip logistics, and delivering high-end guest service, I am passionate about both the operational and service sides of the interior.
