About

Hello! love a busy program, and having the opportunity to go above and beyond for owners and guests. I bring positive energy and teamwork along with creativity to excel in my job. I have 3+ years yachting experience. I was previously temping on M/Y Amor-A-Vida for a busy shipyard/warranty period. I have over 14 years in the hospitality industry combined, and for 10 I worked at the JW Marriott. Previously I took over a year off of yachting and accepted position as a bar manager in Texas to gain managerial experience. As a brand new bar, I was able to set procedures, order supplies, and hire a great team.Though it is not on a yacht, it is similar and will enhance my skills in yachting. I have been temping on yachts, and taking advantage of traveling in my free time. Please see my CV for all positions. My most influential temp position being on M/Y Rising Sun. While onboard I had the opportunity to lead dinner/lunch service for the owner/friends with up to 12 guests. I was also on M/Y Invictus for over a year. I was thrown into a busy charter season and enjoyed every minute of it. I was able to move up the ranks and step up to 2nd Stewardess/Head of Service for a busy charter and high profile client. As well as act as Chief Stew on a crossing. In between yachting jobs, I bartend at home to continually enhance my skills. I enjoy a fast paced environment and thrive when it is busy. I am looking for a new challenge and opportunity to learn new skills to develop my career. I love meeting new people and being a part of a team. In my free time I stay active, and am currently studying to take the NASM personal training exam.
