Summary
I am a Multi-talented Deckhand with background keeping vessels clean and well-maintained. I have just come to the end of my OOW Cadetship and I am now looking to start working within the yachting industry. I believe I have many skills from my time as a cadet and my time as a deckhand on the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world "The Waverley". I have been in the maritime industry for 4 years in several roles with various companies where I have gained numerous skills I have been working within a customer-facing environment where I have provided excellent customer service to our passengers to ensure they have an enjoyable and safe experience while on board the vessel.
