Having grown up in Mallorca as the daughter of a superyacht captain it was almost inevitable that Althea would work on yachts at the early age of 20. She worked on various types of vessels from 30-80m, charter and private, such as HERMITAGE, HAIDA G and SERENITY J. After 14 years at sea she came ashore and worked in a recruitment agency for almost six years before joining the Burgess Crew Services team in 2021.

Althea likes outdoor activities with her young boy on sunny days and drawing and painting on rainy days.
