MY STORY

I’ve always had a fire in me - a natural drive to go after what I want, to try new things, and to keep challenging myself. Saying “no” has never really been part of my vocabulary. That mindset led me into the world of yachting, starting out in Sydney, Australia on what was, at the time, the only charter yacht around - a modest little 120ft Warren.

With a few friends already in the yachting scene overseas, I decided to dive in fully. What followed were six unforgettable years sailing across the Mediterranean and Caribbean, working primarily on private yachts as a Purser. The yachts ranged from 80 to 110 meters, and the standard was nothing short of exceptional. I also had the opportunity to be involved in new builds in Germany with Abeking & Rasmussen and Lürssen, which was a whole new level of precision and detail. There’s a kind of magic in the luxury, the structure, and the high expectations that come with life aboard a billionaire’s yacht. Everything is pristine, polished, and purposeful. I loved it.​

From a young age, I had early experience in the film and Television industry, dreaming of being in front of the camera. And, one day...​ Below Deck came knocking. At first, I turned it down - it didn’t (and doesn't) reflect the yachting world I knew and loved. The show felt dramatic and over-the-top, far from the level of professionalism I’d been part of. But eventually, I said yes. Why? Because storytelling, presenting, and being part of the television world truly excites me. And sometimes, opportunities come in different packages than we expect.

Over time, I’ve discovered that one of my biggest strengths is helping others - especially those new to the yachting industry - find their confidence, raise their standards, and chase their own dreams. It’s something I’m deeply passionate about.​

So that’s a bit of my story so far...

I’m focused on turning my experience into your opportunity - whether it’s drawn from the deck of a superyacht or the energy of a television set. My passion is helping others step into their potential, elevate their standards, and shine brightly on whatever path they choose to follow.

And Casa Rubi, is my home and yours.
