Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Dear Shipmates,
We only live once, and the experiences endured has only strengthened my abilities to proceed with a beautiful life. I am currently residing in Mazunte Mexico. I recently had the opportunity to crew on a 37foot Sail Vessel where I once again had the wonderful pleasure of the ocean. After a 3 week journey from Zihuataneo to Acapulco, and continuing on to Crucerita, it was time for a new adventure. I am seeking a position as a professional team mate on a yacht. The individual strength, and integrity I have gained will be an asset in a new journey, where I use my skills, and learn new ones along the way.
Eyes, smiles, hearts, and souls.... The beauty of life, as we reach our goals.

Wasaga Beach, the largest fresh water beach in the world is located on Georgian Bay, Lake Huron. This is where I was born and raised. At the age of 5 I was tossed by the waves, and survived a near drowning experience. My strength, and determination has increased my ability and respect for all bodies of water, and the continuous change Mother Nature endures within moments. 43 years later I am a strong, confident swimmer, with skill, and grace. I later loved all water sports, and I was driving a ski boat, and a jet ski at the age of 15. I am not sure if this counts as nautical miles, but riding the waves has become a great passion of mine. When I joined Find A Crew years ago, I was employed on a 68ft Irwin for a passage across the Atlantic. I was young, eager, and ready for an adventure, and that it was, as we crossed from Rhode Island to The Azores in 13 days, and our crew of 6 endured the challenge of the ocean. I love it, and respect it.

My parents owned a Campground in our tourist town, and at the age of 5 I was involved in the business.... Child labour at it's best. 🙂 I have old school work ethic which drives me to accomplish tasks to the best of my ability, with the concept of time as a relevant component. As a business woman, time is money, and I respect this philosophy wherever I work. My restaurant skills were influenced by an Italian family, where I was involved in the daily operations of taking care of business. I watched, and learned, served the clientele, cleaned the bathrooms, and took out the garbage. The harder I worked, the more I learned, and that was the beginning of my passion for cooking. I have gained old school Italian methods of cooking, that I use continuously for fantastic flavors from simple ingredients. My cooking style is adaptable to various dietary, and nutritional desires for individual lifestyles.
I consider myself a restaurateur as this has been my main source of income throughout my life. I have worked as a professional bartender, server, in many venues, from casual to fine dining, weddings, banquets, and conferences. I have been a hostess, and a deckhand on a 92ft yacht during my travels in Turkey.
This career choice has given me the adaptable lifestyle to travel, always economically, and explore the diversity of the world. I love people, and my experiences enables me to adapt to circumstances on all levels, providing personalized individual service on the level required.
I am a professional, with personality, positivity, perseverance, patience., passionately seeking an opportunity where I can enhance my intellectual integrity and become a team member with common goals for a fantastic life experience.

My father builds hotrods, he has encouraged me to learn with integrity, and have appreciation on all levels. I do not know it all, I never will, but it is my individual intention to gain knowledge,
and then lead with experience. I am the real deal. I respect boundaries, and personal space. I love to laugh, engage in conversation, learn from other's experiences, and continue my own. I am comfortable with my own company, and have been so for many years.
I realize the strength I have endured throughout the past year, because of my choices, and being able to send a wave in your direction will only provide me with an opportunity to continue to live a beautiful life.
