About

I am a very bubbly and drama free individual. I try to bring good energy anywhere I go. I am very open minded and easy to communicate with. I’m a good problem solver and see myself great with time management as I always try to be earlier than later. I have a strong but easy going personality. I am someone who appreciates and is grateful for the things I have and the great people in my life. I love trying new things and experiencing new places and people.

Personal Details

Career Objective

I have been in yachting for about 2 years now and completed three full seasons onboard private and charter motor yachts where I have learnt a great amount from all the crew onboard so that has given me great confidence in yachting. I see myself as Chief Stewardess in the future when I am more experienced and a bit older. I have many goals to achieve such as financial and courses. I have completed my Masseuse course and plan to do more for my future in this industry.

Hobbies & Interests

I enjoy any outdoor adventure. Going to the beach, hiking or even just a nice walk. I really enjoy trying new activities and am looking to get my dive masters. I enjoy a good social life and meeting new people as I am quite an extrovert but also enjoy a nice day to myself if that’s taking myself for a massage or reading a good book.

Experience

Second Stewardess

Nov 2024 - May 2025

The stews rotated in duties onboard doing laundry, housekeeping, table setting, service, crew mess and bridge duties as well as general maintenance of the vessel interior wise.

Sole Stewardess

Apr 2024 - Aug 2024
M/Y Leonida ii

During the Mediterranean season of 2024 I took on a Sole Stew position which was a great experience where I learnt how to work long hours with no breaks during trips. I performed all interior duties by myself having to learn how to perform all tasks perfectly in perfect timing to complete the rest. I was doing service three times a day, table decor, house keeping, detailing, cocktail making and crew laundry.

M/Y Jules

I had taken on a deck/stew role as I was new to the industry and wanted to see if I would enjoy a deckhand role. I learnt a lot in both departments where I was mainly exterior off trip, detailing, wash downs, polishing and teak maintenance where during trips I was working alongside the chief stewardess helping with service, housekeeping and laundry. It was a challenging position and figured that I preferred the interior department and thrives more working as a Stewardess but was a great experience overall.
