About me
I aim to secure a Steward/Service Steward Position on-board a charter or private yacht that offers growth opportunities. I hold various Advanced IAMI G.U.E.S.T. certificates, and a Bachelor of Commerce Degree. I have more than 4 years of yachting experience on board busy private yachts up to 88m and heavy charter yachts up to 85m (in guest facing positions). I have experience in managing all aspects of a deck team and interior admin. I also have 10 months of Interior administration experience (Admin assistant to the captain). I was tasked with completing the shipyard budget and monthly accounts. I have experience as a service steward & extensive hospitality experience working in the top restaurants in South Africa; 5 years of cocktail bartending and events for HNWI’s, managing teams of up to 18pax for weddings, banquets, and horse races. I have also managed a ski chalet in Les Trois Vallees (Reberty) in the winter season of 2018/2019 where I performed all service & housekeeping duties for 15pax. I worked as an admin assistant for a project management company in 2016. I was selected by Hill Robinson for Red Sea Week Yachting event in October 2019 dealing with VIP UHNWI's. My responsibilities included day and night Harbour Master duties and working closely with the concierge to ensure that the UHNWI's needs and logistical requirements were met. I thoroughly enjoy guest interaction. I enjoy a challenge and I am always willing to learn.
