Career highlights

With a background in marketing and business, my adventure unfolded in the exciting world of hospitality.

Settling in the UAE in 2021, I discovered my passion for Public Relations in F&B hospitality. Joining Umami as an intern, I eagerly tackled a steep learning curve, setting out on a path of personal growth. Now, as a Senior PR Account Executive, I reflect on a path defined by my unwavering commitment, tenacity, and continuous thirst for growth.

Honesty, loyalty, respect, integrity, accountability, & passion. They serve as the cornerstone of my behavior, directing me toward ethical conduct, dedication, & genuine connections. I make purposeful and clear decisions in both my personal and professional efforts, using these ideals as my compass.

Side hustle

More in pursuit of my personal passion, my side hustle is music and dance. I go to dance classes and meet many like-minded people, leaving stress at the door and moving to the rhythm of music. I also enjoy doing ice baths regularly and try to recruit the “un-recruitable!” haha.
