My Present:

I joined Fairport in March 2025 as a Yacht Administrator and Accountant. My primary responsibilities include managing the under-24m fleet, creating budgets and financial reports, and processing invoice payments. This is an all-rounder role where I also assist yacht managers and accountants as needed. I am truly enjoying the transition to a land-based position. It’s a significant step toward achieving a more balanced life and being closer to the people who matter most, after spending so much time away on yachts.

My Past:

My passion for the yachting industry started at a young age, inspired by my father, a chief engineer with over forty years of experience. My career began in Antibes as a receptionist at Freedom Maritime, where I gained my first experience in the industry.

Taking on various hospitality-focused roles allowed me to enhance my adaptability and customer service skills. Before embarking on my yachting journey, I pursued a bilingual education, splitting my academic years between the French Riviera and the UK.

With extensive experience in luxury service and yacht operations, I developed strong organizational skills, an eye for detail, and a deep understanding of high-end client expectations. My passion for the sector led me to spend 13 years working on board, progressing from Stewardess to Chief Stewardess, where I managed interior teams and guest services on yachts ranging from 41 to 63 meters.

My Future:

Looking ahead, I am excited to continue developing my skills and knowledge in my new land-based role. This position marks a fresh chapter for me, as I am accustomed to working in this industry from the other side.

My Outside Life:

Outside of work, I enjoy floristry, hiking, skiing, and scuba diving, embracing an active lifestyle both on land and at sea. I am also a travel enthusiast and love exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations. My favorite trip so far has been to Iceland, the land of ice and fire.
