About

I am an experienced maritime officer currently working as a 2nd Officer / DPO in the offshore industry. Through my career at sea, I have gained strong navigational skills, watchkeeping experience, and the ability to work effectively within international crews in demanding operational environments. Safety, professionalism, and teamwork have always been central to how I approach my work. Working offshore has given me experience with bridge operations, voyage planning, dynamic positioning support, and maintaining high operational standards. I am used to adapting to new teams quickly, and performing under pressure while maintaining a positive attitude on board. I am now looking to transition into the yachting industry, where I can bring my maritime experience, strong work ethic, and attention to detail to a professional yacht environment. I am highly motivated to learn and willing to obtain any additional certifications required. I take pride in being reliable, proactive, and easy to work with. My goal is to contribute positively to the crew, support the safe operation of the vessel, and help deliver an excellent experience for owners and guests.
