Over the course of the last 2 years, I have enhanced my skills as a deckhand on a 44m Heesen; I am now
looking to continue my development on a 55-80m super yacht, with the intention of progressing through
the ranks to bosun. My long-term goal is to become captain; I am of course aware that will not happen
overnight Prior to entering the yachting industry I worked for four years as a bartender, I was fortunate
enough to travel extensively with that job, and work in some illustrious establishments such as Ibiza Rocks. I
have learnt to be a team player and efficient worker who likes to see a job done well. I get on well with
people and handle stressful situations with a positive sense of humour.
