Avid water-sports enthusiast and skier with 4+ years in travel sales and managerial experience.

A qualified Windsurfing, Dinghy Sailing and SUP Instructor, with RYA first aid and powerboat level 2. I am planning in the footstraps on a windsurf and have experience in catermeran sailing, kitesurfing and surfing.

After taking some time out to cycle to Greece in 2019 after years of working in travel and travelling the world, I decided I would like to fulfil my dream and work summer watersports seasons and winter ski seasons. In summer 2020 I had an instructor job with Rockley Watersports and in winter 2020/21 a Resort Rep position with Alpine Elements however, the pandemic got in the way slightly. I’m now looking for the chance to continue my career in a beach club environment, preferably for a company also offering winter ski seasons, additional training opportunities and chances to progress through the company in the long run.

An accomplished travel sales person with a proven record of consistently exceeding sales targets, providing quality customer service and experience in managing customers, sales and people. A business management graduate who speaks basic conversational French.

During the pandemic, I managed to find other employment through friends and turned my hand to Tree Surgery, Bartending and as a Runner on an upcoming Netflix TV series.
