Summary
With one year of deckhand experience in the tourism sector, I am eagerly transitioning into the Motor Yacht industry to develop my skills further. Boating has been a lifelong passion, matched by my enthusiasm for the ocean, fitness, and outdoor activities. Over the past six years, I've cultivated strong customer service skills through roles as a swim instructor, bartender, and water park attendant. This experience has refined my ability to communicate effectively and thrive in high-pressure environments. Recognized for my strong work ethic and collaborative approach, I believe I can make a positive contribution to any team. My genuine love for learning ensures that I am always ready to embrace new challenges and opportunities for growth in this exciting industry.
