What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply my deck/port operations experience and hands-on technical skills—staying organized, detail oriented, and reliable—while working with a team and handling tasks independently when needed.

I’m a self-motivated, honest, reliable, and hard-working worker who thrives both on a team and on projects alone. I bring resourceful problem-solving and negotiation to achieve beneficial agreement, while staying organized and detail oriented in fast-moving environments.

Most recently, I worked as a Deckhand (Jan 2023 - Feb 2024), assisting with deck maintenance, including painting and cleaning, and maintaining the vessel’s deck surfaces and interior spaces. I also handled administrative duties, including running errands to support daily operations and organizational needs, and I managed logistical operations to ensure efficient coordination of resources, including solely managing a fleet of eight yachts with maintenance oversight and client relations to support exceptional service and guest satisfaction.

I’ve also supported port and technical operations, including work as a Refer Technician (Nov 2019 - Apr 2021) and a Straddle Operator (Apr 2021 - Dec 2022), making sure refer containers are unplugged/plugged and organizing & stacking containers on and off the ship. In addition, I performed analysis diagnostics and resolution of complex PC-related issues as a Technician Assistant (June 2015), fielding hardware problems via e-mail/phone calls/pages and accurately documenting installations, removals, repairs, and hardware failure. I’m ready to bring leadership, analytical thinking, and dependable service to a role where careful work and steady results matter.
