As a proud South African with a non-linear path from chef to bosun—and a foundation as an NSRI rescue swimmer—I bring a deep, cross-departmental perspective and a purpose-driven approach to mentorship. The ocean has been my greatest teacher, and the challenges I’ve faced have shaped my mission to show up for others with honesty, empathy, and consistency.
I offer free guidance to anyone in need—CV reviews, career support, and real-world advice—because access to opportunity should never depend on rank, background, or connections.
I founded the SEA Foundation to empower underprivileged individuals through education and mentorship, with the goal of creating generational change. I also launched Elevate Crew Academy to flip the script on outdated, overpriced training. ECA is here to revolutionize and standardize yachting education—making it accessible, relevant, and built for lasting impact.
As a mentee in the prestigious Magenta Project, I continue to grow as a mentor and advocate for change. I believe this industry has the power to transform lives—and I’m here to make sure that transformation is available to everyone.
