Bio
If you’ve read about an art or culture project in the UAE, chances are I’ve had something to do with it. Whether it’s for creative, digital, social, PR or experiential, I’m your girl.
Highlights of my career?
– Walking under the Louvre Abu Dhabi’s dome in 2016 during its construction and then leading media FAMs for their first glimpse of it
– Reshaping the communications strategy for the UAE’s Ministry of Culture and subsequently the nation’s bid for a seat on UNESCO’s Executive Board
– Writing for a yet-to-be-revealed regional culture project (stay tuned!)
– Meeting Yo-Yo Ma
Guiding principles
Be kind and always have a contingency plan.
How has Covid changed your job?
I made the switch from PR to digital and creative copywriting and this has allowed me to work more flexibly and stay on top of the evolving digital landscape.
Side hustle
It’s top-secret for now but I’ll give you a hint – it involves detective work, food, and of course some stellar art.
