Utilizing my experience in yacht interiors and the needs of yacht stews in relation to the day-to-day operations, guest needs, and crew needs. As a sales representative, I was able to effectively communicate with interior teams in their options for purchasing, customizing, and the logistics of shipping their goods.

Teaching new and seasoned stewards' effective ways to approach service and hospitality requirements for their yacht program. Courses taught: Intro to Yachting for the Interior Department, Silver Service - Advanced Food Service, Floral Care & Arranging, Cigars and Caviar Service, Leadership & Management

Beginning as a junior stewardess I was privileged to work with an exceptional team that fostered growth in all interior departments. Over the next few years, I worked to absorb a wealth of information to prepare myself in leadership roles. Adapting to various styles of service, both informal and formal as well as guest preferences. Towards the end of my yachting career, I worked as a sole stew providing all laundry and housekeeping duties while maintaining the level of service required by the owners and guests.
