About Wendy Umla

As an articulate and polished professional in international business repeatedly proving adept in working with high profile individuals in fast paced, ever changing environments. Whilst in the maritime industry, I rose to the rank of Captain with a senior level license. I was executive or manager on several large luxury projects. Executing multiple projects with ease led to extending those skills to overseeing multiple tangible assets for individuals and their families and subsequently to doing a wide range of project management. I hold a firm belief in including all opinions in challenging situations thereby motivating and promoting teamwork to find solutions and attain goals. I thoroughly enjoy seeing people, whether clients, vendors, peers or friends, benefit from my extensive knowledge and diverse experiences while creating a rising bottom line. In addition, I am extremely adept and discreet while working with high profile individuals in fast paced environments. Organized and detail oriented with proficiency in executing multiple projects with ease, grace and transparency. This creates an atmosphere of confidence, comfort, and trust which promotes a sense of unity, satisfaction and confidence in the project. Having recently undergone a very serious health issue, turning challenges into positives, the end result being a published book, Healthy People Get Cancer too.

The flames and toxic organic vapors can become overwhelming in a matter of seconds, especially in the confined spaces of an cabin in a guest or crew accomodation area.
