About

I bring over 4 years of yachting experience, a strong hospitality background, and hands-on leadership experience. Since joininPlease 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.
