What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in a dynamic marine environment, focusing on education and customer engagement.

I am a dedicated maritime enthusiast with a creative background and a commitment to continuous learning and upskilling. My extensive experience in both offshore and inshore sail racing, coupled with my role at The Irish Nautical Trust, has shaped my technical knowledge and understanding of maritime operations. I am eager to leverage my passion and expertise in a dynamic marine environment.

As an instructor and marketing lead, I have successfully mentored students on a 12-week maritime skills course, fostering a collaborative and supportive mentality through learning and problem-solving. My ability to instill a situational health and safety mindset, both in the classroom and on the water, has been instrumental in developing effective communication and teamwork skills among my students.

With a proven track record in technical marine sales and marketing, I have provided extensive product advice for boat maintenance and specialized rigging solutions. My keen eye for market trends and customer preferences has allowed me to grow sales and enhance product visibility, contributing to overall company revenue growth.
