I am a dedicated maritime professional with over 14 years of experience, starting with cargo ships and 5 years of cruise ships before transitioning into yachting, where I have spent the past 8 years. Starting as a deckhand and progressing to my current position as a 2nd Officer, I have gained valuable experience and knowledge across various vessel types. I am proficient in the operation and maintenance of bridge equipment, including the updating of ECDIS and bridge equipment, and possess strong skills in passage planning. In addition to these technical tasks, I have extensive experience in managing and leading the crew on deck, overseeing day-to-day operations, ensuring safety, and executing various deck operations. I am also responsible for managing inventory, ensuring the proper maintenance of equipment, and supervising the smooth running of sailing operations. With excellent communication and leadership skills, I effectively coordinate deck activities and work collaboratively with the team to maintain high standards of performance.
