Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I'm an experienced open water swimmer, swim instructor, diver, surfer, lifeguard, and water massage therapist with a passion for marine conservation. I take immense pleasure in fostering connections between people and the water, as well as the beauty of nature.

In addition to my water-related expertise, I am an accomplished Artist and industrial designer. My current endeavor involves acquiring essential survival skills and saving up to purchase my own boat. Sailing has become my pathway to independence, enabling me to embrace self-sufficiency. Last year, I successfully crossed the Pacific, and I have spent a cumulative total of 7 months living at sea on various sailing vessels.

Most recently, I had the privilege of serving as first mate and assistant chef during a charter season in the Caribbean. I was also in the Santa Cruz 27 nationals race team on the foredeck position.

Now, I am eagerly seeking new opportunities to contribute my skills and enthusiasm to a boat-related position as a first mate, deckhand, Delivary crew or assistant chef/stewardess.
