I am currently between opportunities and looking to start my own philanthropy advisory firm aimed at creating a "third sector" in the UAE, bringing together HNWIs, family foundations, NGOs, and corporates. What can help me unlock my next level is having "right-brain" thinkers around me to challenge my logical and practical approach, helping me think more creatively and outside the box.

I would love to join the community not only to learn and reconnect with my creative side, but also to contribute to and uplift the community by using my networks and connections to offer support. I enjoy being around intellectually stimulating people and attending talks on topics I may have little exposure to, as it broadens my perspective. Coming from a government and local SME-building background, rather than a traditional creative industry, I believe I can bring an alternative perspective to the group, enriching discussions and collaborations.

I’m creatively inspired by people who are in flow and those who create pieces that embody a part of themselves that is unseen to the public. I have just started my painting journey using oils, and I would love to contribute to 1833 by being a new voice in the field and offering a new perspective to long-term artists. In my free time, I enjoy reading personal development/spiritual books, horse riding, playing tennis, spending time in nature, and learning about biohacking.
