Melanie White spent five years in her twenties crewing superyachts for charter and regatta racing across the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and the Arctic. Since leaving her career as a full-time yacht chef, she has been committed to improving mental health awareness and suicide prevention. She landed the role of policy advisor for the UK Chamber of Shipping, specialising in employment, health, and safety, and in 2020 co-founded Seas The Mind, an organisation dedicated to creating mentally healthy and resilient yacht crew through Mental Health First Aid training. In addition to her work in the maritime sector, she is training to become a counsellor. In 2022 she gave birth to her first child, Alfred. Behind Ocean Lines is her first book.
