About

Raised with a strong connection to the ocean, I have built my yachting career on professionalism, adaptability, and high standards. I am hardworking, reliable, and calm under pressure, with strong skills in service, housekeeping, provisioning, table styling, and team coordination. Known for my versatility, positive attitude, strong work ethic and leadership skills, I am now pursuing the position of Chief Stewardess on a 45–55m yacht, or a Second Stewardess role within a larger team.
