About me

A mature purser with over a decade of experience, initially in the Merchant Navy, then as an Officer in the Royal Navy and most recently the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. Proven success as a rotational purser on large support vessels in excess of 170 metres,16,000 GT with 80+ crew operating in the Mediterranean, the Baltic and Norwegian Sea. Competent across all areas of the onboard purser duties, as deputy head of a department of 24 people, as well as broader maritime operational logistics matters; including preparation for and recovery from refit periods and conducting logistics planning for voyages of extended periods at sea in uncertain conditions. I have consistently delivered results, both at sea and ashore demonstrating awareness of security and reputational risk. Loyal and discrete, I am comfortable supporting senior leaders with exacting standards. Accustomed to daily liaison with Captains, HODs and external authorities on matters of safety management, finances, port ops, provisioning, spares, HR, and crew welfare, with awareness of the implications of shipboard decisions on the wider fleet and HQ. I value humour and humility. I take pride in my work without taking myself too seriously. As a team player and proactive leader, I foster transparency and accountability. I am adaptable and calm under pressure. Native Spanish and English speaker, raised in Málaga. Culturally aware and open-minded, which has helped me thrive in challenging international assignments. Now seeking to bring my strong service ethos and longevity to luxury yachting. I am confident I can add value, behind the scenes and guest-facing, to support your operation. Currently in Malaga, Spain, I am able to join at short notice and hold valid ENG1 and STCW certificates, British passport, and Seafarers Discharge Book.
