Since 2019 Lorena has worked for Chiltern Maritime Ltd as a Training Officer and over the past three years she has gained extensive experience in all aspects of Officer Cadet management, with responsibility for managing over 100 cadets on behalf of several marine-based charities and shipping companies.

As one of our Training Officers, Lorena will be actively involved in the operational activities related to our Officer Cadets under training, and liaising and working closely with both the cadets and their sponsoring companies.

Lorena is a passionate and self-driven individual who takes pride in being part of her cadets’ initial development as they progress to become UK Merchant Navy Officers.

Lorena said “My new position with Just Be Maritime is a great opportunity for me to continue my involvement in the management and eventual success of our Officer Cadets.
