Over the past year, I have gained experience as a deckhand on 43 m charter yacht, with expertise in vessel maintenance, carpentry, painting repairs, and line handling. Skilled in diving, videography, and drone photography, I am eager to bring both my technical skills and positive energy to a dynamic crew environment. My background in finance has also equipped me with strong attention to detail and adaptability, ensuring a high standard of service and teamwork.
