About

Working in different business sectors & regions, gave me a diverse experience across different industries with a broader understanding of different markets, cultures, & businesses. I worked across regional/international geographies & managed business accounts across: Egypt, GCC, and other regions. In addition of working across various business categories like: TV Networks, FMCG, Beauty products, infrastructure material, Sea- Freight, Agribusiness, Telecom, Automotive, Smart Devices, Education, Self-Development, Personal Coaching and other services. I started going deeper towards my long-time passion of helping and coaching people by being an ICF 'Positive Psychology Coach’. I'm currently upgrading my skills through studying Reiki healing & therapy techniques. I do strongly believe that we're all here in this world for a reason & I know that helping others is where I find myself & belong.
