About

A dedicated and detail-oriented Chief Stewardess with over 7 years of professional yachting experience, including 5.5 years aboard a single 50m sailing yacht, showcasing my longevity, organisational skills, and exceptional eye for detail. Complemented by a strong accounting background and experience as a private Flight Attendant, I bring versatility and a commitment to excellence in every aspect of luxury service. I am adept at organising shore-based residences, training household staff to uphold yacht-level standards, and maintaining direct communication with owners to ensure their preferences are flawlessly met. My leadership, discretion, and ability to anticipate needs make me a trusted professional in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
