- I founded the Lighthouse (www.thelighthouse.ae) seven years ago to create a gathering place for members of our creative community to eat, shop and mingle. I would love to continue this journey by taking The Lighthouse global and continuing to satisfy my own curiosity via my podcast (www.thelighthouse.ae/podcast).

- I’d love to participate and contribute to a growing community of creatives. I launched a podcast called “the lighthouse conversations” a few years ago to provide a platform for Arab entrepreneurs to tell their story and a shine a light on their journey so this feels like a continuation of this path to be in conversation with other like minded members of our creative community, support those that are seeking advice re: entrepreneurship and, most of all, have fun doing it all.

- reading - playing tennis - organizing my books (and re-organizing & re-organizing!) - going to art galleries - scouting new restaurants
