About

I come from a small town, Strand, where I grew up next to the ocean, which gave me a love for nature and the outdoors. I like to live an active lifestyle and meet new people. I have a bubbly yet mature personality that thrives in seeing the best in every situation. I am not scared to work hard and will go out of my way to do extra. I love socialising, meeting new people and seeing new places. I am confident stepping on a yacht with knowledge as the Green to Gold stewardess course taught me everything about laundry, housekeeping and service.
