What its REALLY like being a Greenie in your 30's!
If anyone is the poster girl for resilience then it has to be today's guest Carla.
Carla went from studying a bachelor of tourism, hospitality and events management to teaching that exact course to other students as well as being the poster girl for the course.
Carla’s career has included 21 years in hospitality and 3 years in yachting which was driven by her shere passion for 7 star service. She always had working on a super yacht high on her bucket list and started her career in the industry at the age of 33. We chat openly about the advantages and a few challenges that can come with entering the industry later in life.
Carla began her yachting journey as a kitchen hand, which involved having to google her way through peeling quail eggs. She also experienced being turned down for a job because of her allergies, suffering an injury and as a result not getting a dream stewardess position, returning to Australia to have surgery but not giving up and packing her bags to move overseas for the 3rd time.
The fact that she didn't throw the towel in and allow a few setbacks to taint the industry altogether and she gave it yet another crack was a true testament to her resilience and it was truly inspiring to hear Carla's journey.
She shares with us her experience of working onboard a superyacht when the pandemic began, how the industry is adapting to change and what it is like to work on a vessel where over half of the crew contracted COVID-19.
