About

Having been raised in a coastal town, I’ve developed a strong work ethic and love for the ocean. I’ve run a professional car wash for corporate clients and managed premium Airbnbs for 6+ years, building skills in guest service, presentation, and detailing. With a barista course under my belt and a background in rugby and fitness, I’m reliable, team-oriented, and ready for hard work.
