Career Objective

To leverage my extensive experience in yachting and hospitality to provide exceptional guest experiences and culinary delights aboard luxury yachts.

Hobbies & Interests

I’m passionate about wellness and healthy living, and I love starting my day with breathwork, gentle movement or a good swim. My hobbies include diving, yoga, creative cooking, and designing and enhancing interior spaces — creating beauty and harmony wherever I am. I value emotional intelligence, positive thinking, and soulful aesthetics in both work and life. I believe that joy, elegance and presence are the secret ingredients in both food and service.
