About

Energetic Australian deckhand with two years of hands-on experience across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Middle East and Australia. Holding a Yacht Rating, tender license (up to 15m), and PWC Instructor certification, along with a strong passion for watersports, I am confident in delivering high-energy watersports programs, meticulous exterior presentation, and seamless guest service. Known for my strong work ethic, proactive mindset and ability to build a great rapport with both guests and crew, I’m ready to step into my next long-term role, eager to take on more responsibility, further develop my skills, and contribute to a professional and motivated crew.
