officers and I say: “I don’t
want to be a waitress all my

So I was saving money
working for a year and a half

moved to the North of Spain
to study for 3 years to

CONFERENCES
Teekay has several thousand
seafarers all around the world;
whether at home in 20+ countries
or on our vessels found, well,
everywhere. It is the nature of the
business that people and assets
are scattered across the globe
doing work for customers.
So, it is rare that colleagues can
come together in one place at
one time. That is the purpose of
our seafarer conferences. The
focus is to connect ship and
shore, creating alignment – to
support each other and learn
from each other TOGETHER.

My life is almost always on the
ships. The company, the crew.
They are my family because
when I take care of them, they
take care of me. When I come
onboard and I meet the crew, I
learn what they want, what they
like, the food they like. I write it
down so I remember in the next
ordering to order the food they
like.I don’t order the food that will
become wasted because they
don’t like it. I just order the food
that’s healthy for them and what
they like. My job is to care and
protect the health of the people.
To give them good and healthy
food.

A TEEKAY CAREER
- 11. ORCHESTRATIONVancouver
My perspective of the F&A team
at Teekay is that it’s a global
networked organization who
rely on each other to create
the final product. So it’s a real
orchestrated effort, you can
think of it like a symphony. Not
any one person or level can
know everything, Everyone’s got
their part, and each part is as
important as the other.
When I first came to TK I was a
contractor – great way to get
to know Teekay and for Teekay
to get to know me. A year after
that a position came up for a
permanent role so I applied for
A TEEKAY CAREER

that and I was the successful
candidate. Teekay took a chance
on me so I am loyal to Teekay
for that and that is one of the
reasons I have been here for 5
years. Speaking to anyone in the
accounting realm in Vancouver
- they know exactly what Teekay
is – and maybe my stature goes
up a little bit once I say I work at
Teekay.

CHASING SUNRISE
WITH #TEEKAYSPIRIT
It was cold, it was damp,
and the conditions were
harsher than expected. But
looking back, those aren’t
the metrics that matter.
Not at all. What matters is
that each one of you dug
deep, pushed yourself, took
turns carrying coffee, and
helped each other up a
mountain, step by step.
Each one of you persevered
through the elements, and
together, as a team, you
reached the top.
