About

I bring over a decade of high-end hospitality experience, including roles in VIP service, barista work, and wine pairing. In just under 2 years in yachting, I quickly progressed from stewardess to sole stew, to chief stew across two Mediterranean seasons. With a strong foundation in guest service, management, and conflict resolution, I'm skilled at making clients feel welcomed and satisfied. Additionally, my nutrition background enables me to create personalized meal plans tailored to individual needs.
