I never imagined that I would find myself at the helm of a 134' ship, completely in charge not only of the direction and destination of the ship, but responsible for each and every person on board. This leadership opportunity gave me not only confidence, but the skills necessary to navigate challenging situations and relationships at work. It provided me with a better understanding of how to manage people and resources. It taught me how to be adaptable and nimble in a dynamic environment and it gave the me the opportunity to see the true meaning of teamwork."
