What are your goals for the future at Maersk Supply Service?
I think it’s important for the development process to keep gaining experience and learning more each time. I want to continue my career path at Maersk Supply Service, and the next step would be being promoted to Captain.
I am very proud of working at Maersk Supply Service and very grateful for all the experience I have been able to gain. It’s also important to mention that despite a huge part of the offshore vessels’ crew are male, the amount of women working onboard is increasing each time more. This gives the opportunity for young girls and trainees to get inspired and be looking forward to working onboard as well.
