I’ve worked at L’Oréal, P&G, and most recently McKinsey. The stage I’m at is trying to figure out how to incorporate more of my creative side into my business side in my everyday life and career so that I can feel my life is more enriched & fulfilling. I’m even considering how to fully pursue my creative side and then incorporate my business side into that later to grow it into a business. Help, support, connection, and inspiration is what I feel would help me unlock how to do that and find the courage to go for it (especially that I don’t have many examples of that in my personal life)

I’d love to join a community of likeminded individuals who are also connecting on the idea of expanding thought through creativity and further bringing that to life via business. I feel a sense of purpose in doing that and am trying to more fully explore and determine what that purpose is for me. I think I could help inspire others to do the same, while being inspired to do so myself. What I bring is a professional background from multiple industries that I can leverage in supporting fellow members, as well as my diverse personal background being multicultural (Saudi Arabian woman with some American roots who grew up in the US, KSA, and mostly in the UAE as a Dubai kid - very connected to both my culture and the special ideals of my hometown city of Dubai) and multifaceted (both creative and business-minded/strategic, a mix of the soft and the hard in many ways). I’d love to be able to grow into a better version of myself that embraces all those sides and can “give and contribute” by truly unlocking how to best use them, which I hope in turn helps me define and action my purpose in a fulfilling and fun way

I have multiple creative interests including creative writing, fashion styling, beauty & makeup, interiors styling, analyzing films, shows, and written works, as well as creative conversations with people that expand thought and create connection. I’m looking for a way to delve deeper into these areas and to develop them
