Summary
I am seeking a Stewardess position aboard a 40+ meter private or charter yacht, where I can contribute my experience across both interior and exterior departments. With a strong "team-first" attitude, I take pride in creating a seamless and enjoyable experience for guests and crew alike.
Passionate about life at sea, I spend my spare time in the ocean—kitesurfing, bodyboarding, surfing, snorkeling, or paddleboarding. I also love hiking, exploring waterfalls, and chasing sunsets. Social, energetic, and adventurous, I thrive in outdoor environments and value new experiences that connect people and nature.
