About me
Over a year's worth of onboard experience has left me well versed in exterior and interior detailing, product and application knowledge, as well as time management. As a Deckhand, I was exposed to wash downs, rinse down and chamois, teaking, stainless steel polishing, gel polishing, a sea trial, refuelling operations, boat show preparations, gangway watch and assisted in docking procedures through fender mounting and light line handling. Fortunately, my petite frame proved to be advantageous as I found myself being the designated deckhand for bilge cleaning, electrical room cleaning, engine room cleaning and being placed on the radar arch polishing the stainless. I have experience on several 18m, 25m and 38m yachts as both a Deckhand and a Stewardess. As well as 8 months worth of experience on a 90m as a service stewardess. This provided me with knowledge in both departments as well as having my seaman's book in hand. The past 7 years the recreational boating industry has occupied my off days. These days consisted of countless hours on the water whether it be on boats, jet skis or participating in various water sports. Naturally with my love for photography I quickly became the designated water sports photographer. Notoriously the recreational boating industry consists of constant maintenance which luckily unveiled a new fascination for me, marine engines. In the future I hope to acquire my AEC 1 and AEC 2 as well as my drone license.
