About me
Dynamic and seasoned deckhand with hands-on experience, demonstrating proficiency in all deck duties and maintenance aspects. I have more than a year of experience working on a 26-meter explorer vessel as a deckhand, under the guidance of the captain/owner. During this time I have accumulated 1,197 nautical miles of sea time and am well-versed in all deck duties. Additionally, I worked closely with the chief engineer, participating in various maintenance and repair tasks. With a background in diverse land-based work, such as painting, building camera rigs, and proficiency with power tools, I bring a versatile skill set to the maritime industry. Driven by a sense of adventure, my athletic background in competitive swimming and horse training for film stunts demonstrates my determination and ability to adapt to dynamic environments. I would be honored to bring my skills and experience to any team.
