I am a Master Mariner Unlimited and one of the few women in the world to reach the senior ranks of maritime leadership. Over the past decade, I have navigated in Antarctica, the Arctic and remote regions while leading multicultural teams and complex operations onboard advanced expedition ships.
Originally from Slovakia, I began my journey in the arts and sports, studied mass media and marketing, and later moved to Poland to pursue nautical science — eventually becoming the first Slovak woman to earn the Master Mariner Unlimited licence.
Today, I combine real-life leadership from the bridge with coaching, consulting, corporate workshops and speaking engagements. I also mentor women globally through communities and organizations based in India and USA. Having lived in Mumbai, I bring a deep understanding of cultural diversity, global teamwork and human leadership.
My work is built on clarity, empathy, courage — and practical tools proven in high-pressure environments.
