Skils
Derived from my willingness to familiarize myself with all aspects of Shipping,
during the summer breaks from my studies, having already a good knowledge of Crew transportation (through my work experience in a travel agency), I decided to work as a trainee Broker beside an experienced Chartering Broker. I also jointed in 1997(on board) a General Cargo vessel as an apprentice officer to conclude my experience on all aspects of Shipping.
By nature I am a team player and a problem solver, of course trying to find the solution via the common procedure, but at the same time I am trying to find alternative solutions by outside the box thinking. I am a clear and open-minded person due to the nature of my character; I am not affected by pressure and anxiety, thus I can be productive even under an extremely pressing/hostile environment. Therefore, a highly stressing job is welcomed.
