PROFILE

A highly experienced Chief Stewardess in both charter and private yachts, I am seeking an opportunity to apply my skills in managing the daily operations of a busy private or charter yacht with efficiency and precision. With over 20 years in the yachting industry, I have successfully run programs on 50M, 62M, and 72M yachts for the same owner for 18 consecutive years. My expertise includes yacht organization, budgeting, meal service, professional laundry care, and event coordination. I take pride in delivering exceptional service and ensuring seamless operations onboard.

Having recently migrated to the United States, I took a brief hiatus from the industry to complete my residency. Now fully settled, I am eager to return to yachting and continue the career that I am deeply passionate about. WORK EXPERIENCE
