About

I am a 25 year old with 7 years of high-end hospitality experience and 2 years in wedding and event catering management pursuing a stewardess role onboard a motor or sail yacht and I am eager to learn from experienced crew. I am friendly, easy-going and proactive, with a good sense of humour, I take joy in finding connections with people and take pride in my work. I have a degree in Linguistics and have worked as an editor so I have great attention to detail, precision and communication skills. I am a keen amateur sailor and diver, in the process of obtaining my ICC and have a genuine love for the ocean and natural environments.
