Summary
With my combination of commercial cruise ship and private yacht experience, I aim to bring a wide range of attributes to any future employers. I believe I have a very well-rounded skill set that has been attained in 24 months of onboard service holding my OOW unlimited. I am currently in the process of completing management level courses and studying towards my Chief Mate Unlimited during my leave.
