About
Originally from Latvia, however I have been living in France for the past four years and bring five years of experience in the yachting industry. Most of my career has been spent on charter yachts, where I developed a deep understanding of guest expectations and the importance of maintaining the highest standards on board. I am confident in all aspects of bridge operations, including navigation, Internal audits, Flag State Control, shipyard planning, certification, accounting, ISM, PMS, safety checks and drills. I am also hands-on on deck, leading by example and ensuring operational efficiency. I pride myself on being respectful, reliable, and hardworking, with a strong belief in teamwork and trust. I am now seeking a long-term position on a larger yacht where I can contribute my skills while continuing to learn from experienced Captains and Officers.
