I am an MBA graduate and an experienced professional with over 10 years of cross-sector experience—including 3+ years in the UAE arts and cultural sector, I bring a unique blend of programme coordination, event management, and audience engagement expertise. My work with organisations such as Art Dubai Fair, Expo 2020, and OliOli® Children's Museum has equipped me with the skills to lead diverse programmes and events, building meaningful partnerships, and deliver impactful events that resonate with both local and international audiences.
I take pride in creating memorable experiences, streamlining operations, and driving team collaboration across departments. Whether organising and facilitating workshops for 90+ schools in the UAE, managing digital product at Dubai Design Week and Downtown Design (Dubai & Riyadh), Prototypes for Humanity, Art Salon, and CRM, I thrive in fast-paced environments that require creativity, precision, and purpose.
Outside of Art Dubai, I am a foodie who explores restaurants within the city, its outskirts, and across the globe just to try different cuisines from time to time. I enjoy skydiving and scuba-diving whenever I get the chance, reading good books, and enjoy playing with my two adorable doggos.
I would welcome the chance to be a part of a dynamic organization where I can create meaningful socio-economic contributions including sustainable developments and much more.
