My Story

Growing up spending summers on the Isle of Wight, I spent much of my childhood on the water with my father and grandfather. They taught me to sail at a young age, creating a lasting connection to the sea that eventually led me into yachting.

I studied Biomedical Sciences at Newcastle University, developing an interest in how complex systems work and how small details can have a significant impact on outcomes. That way of thinking still shapes how I work today.

After moving to the South of France, I joined Y.CO's Sales Operations team, working closely with brokers through every stage of significant sales transactions. From coordinating client requirements and managing relationships to keeping complicated processes running smoothly, my role combines organisation, communication and attention to detail.

I take pride in anticipating what's needed and creating an environment where brokers can focus on their clients. Above all, I value Y.CO's collaborative culture, where knowledge is shared and everyone is focused on delivering the best possible outcome for clients.

Beyond Yachting

Outside work, you can find me doing something active. I love playing tennis, running and hiking, and I enjoy anything that gets me moving and outdoors. I'm also endlessly curious about health, nutrition and science. Give me an interesting article, a new study or a conversation about how the body works, and I'll happily disappear down a research rabbit hole for hours.

Cooking is another favourite pastime, closely followed by eating what I've made. More than anything, I value spending time with family and friends. Meaningful connections, good food and shared experiences are what make life enjoyable for me.

What do you enjoy most about your role?

I love being involved in some of the industry's largest yacht transactions and having the opportunity to work alongside an incredibly accomplished team. Every interaction is a chance to learn something new.

What's something people are usually surprised to learn about you?

I have a degree in Biomedical Sciences from Newcastle University.

What's one thing you happily spend too much time researching?

Nutrition. I'm endlessly fascinated by the science behind health and performance and can spend hours reading about the latest research.

If you weren't working in yachting, what would you be doing?

I'd probably be working in medicine, research or a venture focused on scientific discovery and innovation. Understanding how the body works has always fascinated me.
