Masie is originally from near Manchester in the north of England. Before joining the yachting industry, she worked as a dentist in the UK, but soon realized she was better suited to a more active, outdoor lifestyle. That realization led her to yachting, where she has been thriving for the past few years. Between yachting seasons, she works as a ski instructor in Whistler—North America’s largest ski resort.
An avid traveler, Masie embraces every opportunity to explore new places and try new experiences. She's recently taken up golf (with room for improvement, she admits) and enjoys playing tennis whenever she can. Outside of playing sports, she’s a passionate Formula 1 fan and follows the races closely.
Joining Serenissima 1 marks an exciting new chapter in her journey.
