Amy’s Marine CV

EXPERIENCED CREW -
DECKHAND

Despite growing up in Denver, Colorado, I’ve always had a passion and heart for the ocean and its inhabitants especially sharks. In fact, as soon as I could, I got my SCUBA certification and volunteered at Denver’s only aquarium, Ocean Journey.

When I moved to NZ, I immediately learned to sail in Lyttleton Harbour.

A few years later, fueled by a desire to live closer to the sea, I bought a yacht. I’ve since loved the liveaboard lifestyle and look to continue exploring ways to be close to the ocean I love.
