Summary
I am a highly driven young woman with a great sense of humor and hard working personality. Prior to the last four years, I have worked various different jobs. I've worked in a call canter, as a bartender, snowboard instructor,n at a barn etc. However, the last four years I have been working in the yachting industry as a deckhand/stewardess onboard private/charter yachts. Working in this industry created my passion for working on boats. I am and wish to continue to be a jack of all trades.
I thoroughly enjoy knowing how an engine works and tinkering with projects, diagnostics and learning how to fix/maintain them. This is why I am taking a step back from all of my recent traveling, in search of an apprentice technician job so I could have a bit of stability, while still learning this trade.
