Nadia Durigon
Youth Activities Fleet Supervisor: New Projects, Special Events & PR Specialist
Summary
I'm a traveler and a dreamer, always looking for new adventures and continuously committed to apparently impossible projects. I love reading, listening to music, going to the theatre and be surrounded by people from all over the world. I never get tired of learning and pack my luggage.
I enrolled in a technical institute for tourism because I wanted to work onboard a cruise ship and within two months from graduation I embarked for the first time.
Since then my job became my passion, the world my home and the people I’ve met my family.
I take every task very seriously,
I love new challenges and I work hard in order to achieve what I want and how I want it.
Self-confident, competent, independent and well organized, I became a chief entertainer that did not forget what being an entertainer means and tried to give only the best out of the past experiences to the team; learning and growing with it, not only teaching and judging.
Thanks to the experiences I made onboard and the people I’ve met, another dream appeared on the horizon and because of it I decided to enroll at university. Thanks to the hard work and dedication I graduated within the minimum deadline with a degree of 110/110 with honors, despite the lifestyle change that made everything even more difficult.
On my way to a new future, the semester I spent in New York has been another childhood dream come true and reminded me that I love to live out of a suitcase, no matter how hard it is, because the people I met since I started filled my life with everything I needed.
Within three weeks from graduation I was onboard a new adventure, rediscovering what made me revolutionize my life in first place. I recover the passion for a chaotic life and the typical uncertainties of a job based on relationships between people that do not know each other.
Thanks to new positions (event planner and press agent) that had been offered to me and I gladly accepted and carried out with maximum diligence and success, I nailed down the next dream.
While studying for the Master degree I started working for a multi-brand communication agency where I grew very fast and learned a lot about media relations and events. Weekends in summer time were instead dedicated to the new adventure as Production Assistant for a web series.
Thanks to the Master degree and the new working experiences I’ve been offered the position as Youth Activities Fleet Supervisor onboard and in no time I became New Projects, Special Events and PR Specialist…people still make my days and give me the energy and strength to create something special day after day.
Now looking for a similar job on land between enthusiasm and fear, inevitable companions of life changing choices, I hope one day I’ll make it back to New York.
