Shelley joined Burgess in 2023 as a yacht management assistant. Her love of the ocean began as a child and after graduating from Sussex University, she learnt to scuba dive and travelled the world as a dive instructor. After a few years, she began her career in the yachting industry as a deckhand/dive instructor. Shelley spent three years on board, exploring destinations from USA and the Caribbean to the Mediterranean. Coming ashore, she worked as a project and administration assistant for a luxury property development company. She has now happily returned to the world of yachting, using her knowledge of the industry in her new role as yacht management assistant. She speaks English and Spanish.
