About

After two years waitressing in a seasonally inspired restaurant, along with extensive volunteering, and client-facing roles with high-net-worth individuals, I’m well-versed in handling last-minute changes and urgent requests. I’m now ready to bring those skills into the fast-paced world of yachting. I've learned that I can make others feel seen and valued, often through the smallest, most thoughtful details, and I frequently receive compliments from colleagues for this. Noticing the small details is what I do best, from an out-of-place object to anticipating a guest's unspoken needs. I want to follow in my mum’s footsteps in the rewarding world of private luxury travel; the travel bug she gave me is what draws me to yachting, where teamwork and attention to detail create unforgettable experiences.

I am open to any opportunity that allows me to grow professionally and contribute positively to the crew and guest experience.
