About

Thriving in wellness and hospitality environments, very organised, and possess many skills and years of experience. • As a Stew, I am a great communicator with an enthusiastic personality. Excelling in guest service, attention to detail and high standard performance and presentation, creative and always with a positive attitude. I bring a calm presence, clear communication, and a drive for excellence in service and presentation. I’ve trained and managed teams of up to 20 staff in luxury spa and hospitality settings, always fostering team spirit and performance. These skills naturally translate into yacht life, where I thrive on smooth operations and bring potential for stepping confidently from Solo Stew into a Chief Stew role. •As a chef, I prepare delicious, healthy, and vibrant dishes with a punch of worldwide flavours, from Mediterranean to Asian fusion cuisine. I also have knowledge of superfoods, nutrition, gluten-free, plant-based, and alternative diets, ensuring a nourishing experience that complements the overall wellness journey, managing all aspects of the galley, excelling in provisioning, menu planning, and dietary requirements. •As a yoga teacher, I guide personalised sessions, adapting to all levels while fostering flexibility, balance, and general well-being, also with knowledge of a variety of holistic therapies and massage techniques.
