About

I am extremely vibrant and full of life under all conditions, with a big smile on my face. I ask about and own my failures openly, in order to grow from them in the most efficient way possible. I aim to learn only once. I get motivated with fast-paced, hard and challenging work environments. I slow down and become an efficient problem solver under stressful situations. I find them to be the perfect opportunities for growth.

Career Objective

Looking for a position as a Deckhand on a Chartering 40m+ Yacht. My career objective is to be a better version of myself each and every coming day. To progress efficiently through the ranks over the years, with a strong foundation in deck operations, safety, guest service and guest relations, ultimately leading to my goal of one day becoming the captain of a charter vessel. Whilst giving my all on progressing myself through the technical aspects of the industry, my goal is to also give my all on developing myself in leadership, communication and hospitality, to get myself as close as possible to creating a top-tier charter experience for the guests.
