About

After working in the yachting industry for six years, both on sailing and motor yachts, I have gained valuable experience in both the deck and engineering departments. I am now looking for my next long-term position where I can use the skills I have learnt and further my knowledge on a new yacht. As a dedicated worker, I strive to always complete tasks to the best of my ability and am not afraid to ask for help where needed. My determination and willingness motivate me to get stuck into any task I am given, allowing me to flourish within a crew environment. I am currently undertaking my Master 3000GT and seeking a Chief Officer position on either a sailing or motor yacht to thrive in the superyacht industry and achieve my personal goals.
