Over the past decade, I have worked both locally and internationally in the communications fields, from heading up the Marketing and Public Relations departments for Marriott Hotels in Dubai to running multiple publications across the Middle East. I was the youngest Editor of an English publication for the award-winning publishing house, Front Row Publishing & Media, being only 25 at the time. With an Honours Degree in Public Administration and International Relations, I cut my teeth at The Star newspaper, before going on to work in many a big city from London to New York, Beirut to Dubai. I believe I possess a strong background in marketing and PR, with extensive experience in journalism, having worked as a researcher, investigative reporter, writer and content advisor at Al Jazeera and Reuters. My strengths include corporate communication, digital PR, social media, broadcast media and media relations.
