Objective
My maritime career goal is to obtain more experience with navigation and piloting a vessel. I am currently enrolled in a maritime academy to obtain a Navigational Watch endorsement. I am a strong team player, and I love my job on the ocean. Between maritime assignments I will obtain all of the necessary endorsements and certificates that will enable me to work with various types of navigation software and radio communications. If I join your team, you can expect an exceptionally smart and hard worker.
