About

With a background in door-to-door sales, I have developed key skills and traits such as determination, a coachable attitude, perseverance, and a level head in stressful situations. I have been day-working here in Ft. Lauderdale for the past month and have gained strong hands-on experience with line handling, wash downs, teak cleaning, stainless polishing, and highly detailed prep work for owner and broker viewings. I have the mentality, maturity, and the basic skills to be a valuable asset on any vessel I work on!
