Born on Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, Oakleigh moved to Northern Ireland where she spent her formulative years, before moving to Brighton where she enrolled in the CCF. Oakleigh credits her time & experience in the Combined Cadet Forces for her confidence and an appetite for adventure and travel. Earning an award for outstanding customer service in hospitality gave Oakleigh the opportunity to manage the Anchor Club, in Jersey, at a young age and it was this location which alerted her to the opportunities available on Super Yachts. During only her first season in the industry a personal recommendation, from a charter guest direct to the Captain, has seen Oakleigh transfer to THUMPER where her energy and enthusiasm has become a real asset to the whole team.
