Mollie has recently joined Kensho (as of 23/04/26). She was born in Staffordshire, England, however moved to New Zealand with her family in 2006. She has been part of the yachting industry since September 2023. Once consumed by the world of marketing, events and PR, she knew there was more to life than her 9am-5pm desk job. After watching countless Youtube vlogs of stewardesses living their best life and a couple of friends from school raving about the industry, she knew she had to pack her bags and head to Europe. With a love for meeting new people, experiencing new countries and a work hard play hard attitude, she quickly knew this was the industry for her. Mollie has been lucky enough to work on 3 vessels prior to Kensho, M/Y Sibelle, M/Y Vava and most recently M/Y Seasense where she spent 17 months onboard. She has cruised the waters of the Med, the Caribbean and completed two Atlantic Crossings. Mollie is fluent in English, although can count to 100 in Japanese and can sing head shoulders, knees and toes in Spanish.

She would describe herself as fun, fiercely loyal and a great shoulder to lean on. Humble too .
