About

With over 22 years of experience in luxury hospitality, including fine dining, cruise ships, private residences, and the superyacht industry, I have worked on private and charter yachts from 50–100m, delivering exceptional service to VIP and UHNW guests from diverse cultural backgrounds. Over the past two years, I have remained actively involved in the industry, mainly as a freelance and relief Chief Stewardess on charter yachts, alongside selected projects and occasional collaboration with LVH. Some roles are not listed in my CV to keep it concise. This experience has strengthened my adaptability, leadership, and ability to integrate quickly into new teams, manage demanding operations, and consistently deliver high standards under pressure. I am now seeking a permanent leadership role on a well-structured yacht, ideally 100m+, where I can contribute my experience, continue to grow, and add long-term value to the vessel and team.
