PERSONAL OBJECTIVE / PROFILE
It is my aim to pursue a career within the industry as a yacht engineer and with this next opportunity I will begin working
towards the MEOL certification. I am practically minded and have an excellent approach to problem solving. Fully
committed to gaining experience, I wish to develop myself through further training and professional qualifications. I have
advanced IT skills and have in mind to become proficient with satellite communications and technologies.
A professional self-motivated individual, who has an adaptable and proactive work ethic with the determination to succeed
and progress, having worked as part of a team both within the hospitality and professional sectors I am able to foster good
working relationships with other team members.
I believe I have much to offer as part of a crew through my approach to work, and I remain open-minded so as to learn
from others.
