Nationality: Italian
Position: Stewardess
Position details: Stewardess
Languages: Not specified
Description: Paola is a young Neapolitan whose background in nursing brings something genuinely distinctive to her role on board: a natural empathy, a calm presence under pressure and an instinctive attentiveness to the needs of others that no amount of hospitality training can replicate. Graduating from the University of Naples Federico II with a degree in nursing, she has spent the past two years balancing her studies with two consecutive seasons as a yacht hostess, gaining hands-on experience in cabin management, daily guest service, meal support and onboard housekeeping.
Alongside her on-water experience, years of restaurant service at the well-regarded Boccon del Cardinale have given her a confident, polished approach to table service, mise en place and working in rhythm with a kitchen team. Her background as a children's entertainer adds another dimension entirely, making her especially well suited to family charters where flexibility and warmth matter as much as professionalism.
