Led and managed a full interior team of three on a busy 50m private vessel with a high level of owner usage. Delivered all interior duties during an intensive summer season, with the owners onboard daily for formal and informal dinners, private events, and high-profile social gatherings. Planned and executed owner and guest events, including brand collaborations with luxury partners such as Dior, ensuring flawless presentation and attention to detail. Maintained consistently high interior standards while the vessel operated heavily throughout the season before basing in West Palm Beach. Took a hands-on leadership approach, actively working on the floor and rotating through all stewardess duties to support the team and lead by example. Oversaw all interior administration, including inventory control, provisioning, budgeting support, guest preference management, and standard operating procedures. Proactively developed team skills and service standards, applying experience gained from previous vessels to confidently lead and mentor the interior team. Balanced operational, service, and administrative responsibilities to ensure smooth day-to-day operations and a cohesive, motivated interior department.

Part of a four-yacht fleet catering to a busy private vessel with a demanding year-round schedule, including summers in the Mediterranean and winters in the Caribbean. My primary duties included housekeeping, laundry, and overall interior maintenance on Nebula. I regularly transitioned into housekeeping and service roles during guest trips on the main yacht, Moonrise, which required adaptability and a solid grasp of both housekeeping and service standards. I also provided additional support to Mogambo, showcasing flexibility and teamwork across the fleet. During the winter season, I worked at the owner's private villa in St. Barths, handling service and galley communication responsibilities. My experience at Nebula has been an incredible chapter in my yachting career, enhancing my versatility and reinforcing my foundation for assuming greater responsibilities in future roles.

Joined this busy private/charter yacht as a third stewardess, quickly becoming adept in all interior departments, including housekeeping, laundry, and service. During the shipyard period, I took the initiative to manage interior operations independently during a complete refit. I coordinated inventories and assisted with design consultations alongside the yacht manager and interior designer. As a result of my contributions during the refit, I was promoted to Second Stewardess. Furthermore, I was chosen by the owner to train and serve as a flight attendant on his private jet during the summer of 2022, where I provided customised food and beverage service. Between flights, I also supported the owner's household with provisioning and event preparations for over 200 guests.
