I was the 2nd stew on a very busy private yacht. The yacht was used by owners almost every day. This job was my introduction to the industry, I worked closely with the chief stew and as we were the only stews it was required of me to be competent in every aspect of the interior, doing the tasks independently and with confidence. During this season I proved that I am adaptable, a quick learner, self-starter, someone who can think on my feet and can improvise in situations.
