NJ expands crew placement staff

Christine Hodgson and Sarah Bester have recently joined Northrop & Johnson as crew service associates.

Hodgson began her yachting career as a stew and spent 18 years as a chef on private and charter yachts before becoming a crew placement coordinator. She most recently owned KGCH Yacht Recruitment in Fort Lauderdale.

Bester worked in the fitness industry and as the marketing director for a nonprofit social service agency before she began working on yachts as a stew and personal trainer. She moved ashore in 2017 and began working in crew placement.
