Summary
I began my career with Carnival Cruise Line (CCL) as a 3rd Officer on October 30, 2012. Over the years, I have developed a strong foundation as a dedicated Safety Officer, specializing in navigation, ship handling, and team building. I am experienced in conducting safety training sessions, promoting a safety-conscious culture onboard, and ensuring strict compliance with international maritime regulations such as SOLAS, MARPOL, and STCW.In addition to my cruise ship experience, I have accumulated five years of valuable operational experience on cargo vessels operating worldwide. During this time, I served as a responsible Ordinary Watchkeeping Officer (OOW), which strengthened my skills in navigation, watchkeeping, and vessel operations in diverse and challenging environments.
Prior to my time on cargo and cruise ships, I gained early seafaring experience working on yachts. This experience enhanced my adaptability, attention to detail, and ability to operate efficiently in personalized and discreet environments
