Why Holland America Group
I was originally attracted to Seabourn by its “quest for excellence.” This is a place where excellence is a way of life, so perfection in your job is what we call meeting expectations. Working here has given me a sense of pride and satisfaction in the way my career has shaped until now. Seabourn has been my second home. People on Seabourn are top-notch professionals and being a part of the team and standing shoulder to shoulder with them is an amazing feeling.
Who am I?
I have had the privilege to collaborate with “Three Michelin Star” Chef Thomas Keller since 2015, bringing the Seabourn brand to the highest level of Culinary Affairs. I have traveled to more than 80 countries and excel in world cuisine - from “Sushi to Barbecue,” “Fried Rice to Risotto,” or “Pesto to Chimichurri”. Since I joined Seabourn in 2001 as a level trainee, I have been very fortunate and evolved with rich Seabourn heritage, including the launch of all seven vessels (Odyssey 2009, Sojourn 2010, Quest 2011, Encore 2017, Ovation 2018, Venture 2022 & Pursuit 2023.
