About
I joined the yachting industry in 2015 as a junior deckhand and spent the next 3 years working on yachts gaining experience as a part of a deck team. I decided to enroll myself for the OOW Unlimited cadetship in 2018 for which I completed my studies at the end of 2021 having worked on both RO-RO & RO-Pax ships. I found my first opportunity to work as an officer in early 2022 onboard a RO-Pax vessel operating between Malta and Sicily, after completing my 4 month contract I was offered my next position onboard a charter yacht operating in the Mediterranean and Caribbean. After a year and a half onboard the charter yacht I decided it was time to go back to school to sit for the Chief Mate Unlimited which began in January 2024. I have now finished the course and graduated. I hope to find a well run vessel with a great team and continue to further my knowledge and experience.

The Chief Officer and 2nd Officer are dedicated solely to cargo operations, the 3rd Officer position is the Navigational and Safety Officer Role. My duties consisted of holding a lone watch from breakwater to pilot boarding station, updating and maintenance of all bridge equipment, maintaining all logbooks (excluding garbage and ballast water), carrying out drills as per onboard matrix, maintenance of LSA, FFE, medical chest & GMDSS, organizing transfers of new and old crew members, along with preparation for and carrying out of surveys.
