Calla joined Burgess as a Charter Management Assistant in 2022 in Monaco where she was raised. She finished High School in the United States, followed by a Bachelor degree in Interior and Furniture Design at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Florence, Italy. The world of yachting is a natural fit for Calla as it was a familiar feature from her childhood, and also clicks with her passion of art, architecture and design.

Calla speaks fluent English and French, and conversational Italian. In her spare time she enjoys cooking, travelling, visiting museums and skiing from her off-grid shepherd's house in the Maritime Alps.
