Ima originates from Gothenburg, where her parents and siblings reside. She has a strong background in 50m yachts, with extensive charter experience in interior operations.
Having grown up in a city very close to the sea, she has always had a love for the ocean, so when the opportunity arose to work on yachts, she jumped at it headfirst and has since enjoyed every moment so far and looks forward to what the future holds for her in this industry.
Volunteering is something she enjoys doing in her free time, with her most recent trip being to the Gambia, where she assisted teachers in after-school programs for kids of all ages.
