About
From years in practical, high pressure roles, I’m looking to progress into the yachting industry. My aim is to gain deck experience before continuing down the engineer route. With previous engineering university projects looking at optimisation of energy production, and experience in rope work, harnessing, safety, and working at height, I am well equipped with transferable skills. I have 3 years experience in adventure tourism, 5+ years customer facing service roles, experience with long hour days in suboptimal conditions, and also working at at night. Open to daywork, seasonal, temp, and permanent positions. Available immediately.

Hobbies & Interests
Snowsports have been a large part of my adult life. I have spent 3 years in the mountains and enjoyed it thoroughly. For the past two winter seasons I have become involved in backcountry skiing which has given me an even greater appreciation for these environments. I have been interested in photography and videography most of my life. I briefly ran a small media company focusing on nightlife and event promotion before university commitments meant it took a backseat. I still enjoy creating travel videos, using mirrorless and drone cameras. General fitness. I have been going to the gym since secondary school but have more recently trained for fitness instead of strength. I still enjoy the gym but am keen to focus more on functional strength/cardio, and potentially enter some races.
