About

I am a Stewardess with a seasons experience onboard motor yachts, including working as a Sole Stewardess on 25m and 32m vessels. I am confident managing the interior to a high standard, including housekeeping, laundry, service, provisioning, and guest turnarounds during busy owner periods. I genuinely enjoy being part of a team and thrive in environments with strong crew dynamics and good camaraderie. While I am comfortable working independently, I am motivated by working within a larger crew where everyone supports one another and pulls together during busy periods. This is a big reason I am keen to move onto a larger yacht. Before yachting, I worked in event coordination and operations roles, which strengthened my organisation, planning, and ability to stay calm and efficient under pressure. These skills have translated well into yachting, particularly when managing busy schedules, maintaining consistency, and anticipating what is needed day to day.

Career Objective

My plan is to grow within the yachting industry by gaining hands-on experience, learning from experienced crew, and continuously developing my skills. I want to be challenged, adapt to new environments, and build strong relationships with people from around the world. I’m excited to see new places, work hard, and eventually take on more responsibility as I progress in my career.

Hobbies & Interests

I’ve played hockey all my life and love a game of padel. Sport has taught me discipline, teamwork, and how to work with different kinds of people. I enjoy exploring the world, being outdoors, meeting new people, and appreciating new places.
