About me
I am an experienced and versatile maritime professional with a diverse background in sailing. I have worked on 3 superyachts as deckhand with a lot of knowledge regarding products and multiple projects. I have done 2 trans-atlantic crossings, gaining a deep understanding of long-distance navigation and further hone my skills to work on a 50m charter M/Y or S/Y. I am an energetic and active person who thrives in motion— whether I’m surfing, sailing, or taking on new challenges. I enjoy working with others and bring a collaborative, positive spirit to whatever I do. Constant self-improvement is important to me, and I put genuine effort into growing both personally and professionally, always striving to make myself work better.
