I am originally from Sweden and speak Swedish and English fluently, with a working knowledge of German. I began operating boats in the Swedish Marines at the age of 19 and transitioned directly into the yachting industry at 20. I have remained active in yachting for most of my career, taking one year away to obtain my Commercial Helicopter Pilot License. Outside of work, I maintain an active and well-balanced lifestyle. I value quality time with my wife and our dogs and enjoy motorcycle riding on weekends. Fitness and health are important to me, and I have recently developed a strong interest in cooking, appreciating the creativity of experimenting in the kitchen at home. I am passionate about travel and exploring new destinations. Having grown up with winter sports, I take every opportunity to go on ski trips. I also enjoy spending time on the water, particularly wakeboarding.

I’m a professional stewardess with over four years of experience working aboard private and charter yachts up to 94 meters. Based in West Palm Beach, I’ve built my career on adaptability, strong attention to detail, and my ability to seamlessly step into new teams while delivering exceptional guest experiences. Throughout my time in the industry, I’ve worked my way up from 3rd Stewardess to Chief Stewardess and Sole Stew, gaining hands-on experience in everything from formal service and wine pairings to large-scale event planning. I’ve had the opportunity to execute memorable guest experiences, including coordinating a 15-guest holiday party and managing dynamic charter trips where every detail matters—from tablescapes to entertainment. I also served as an Interior Instructor, where I created and taught curriculum for aspiring crew members. Mentoring others in service standards, etiquette, and onboard operations was incredibly rewarding and strengthened my leadership skills. I take pride in my ability to anticipate guest needs, create beautiful and thoughtful table settings, and maintain high interior standards behind the scenes. Whether I’m managing housekeeping, organizing service, or supporting administrative tasks, I bring efficiency, creativity, and a calm, professional approach to every role. Freelancing across a variety of vessels has made me highly versatile and confident in fast-paced environments. I’m fully certified (STCW, ENG1, Food Safety), hold a New York Cosmetology License, and I’m available immediately for both permanent and freelance opportunities with flexibility to travel.
