About

With over 4 years' experience on a variety of vessels, I am looking to pursue my next opportunity in a deck team where I can build on my abilities and use my experience and skills to lead where needed. I enjoy creating a great environment for both guests and crew, working in teams whilst not being shy to take responsibility for my own tasks when necessary.
