BUILDING YOUR SOCIAL & CORPORATE BRAND
HELLO!
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to visit my website and learn a little bit more about me.
To get some of the general "get to know you" stats out of the way:
Hailing from a little piece of England, Canada, Pakistan and the U.S., you'll hear a mix of accents during our first conversation. However, the bulk of my growing years were set under the boundless, picture-perfect skies of Dallas, Texas.
On a wintry and slightly-too-early December morning in 2017, I walked the stage (without tripping, mind you) and became the proud owner of a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing and Global Business from the University of Texas at Dallas - Go Comets!
Shortly after, I ventured across the Atlantic to settle in Dubai, where I have lived and worked for the past few years.
​
Now that you know a bit about how I came to be where I am, I'd like to invite you to learn more about my skills and leadership on this site, as well as some fun facts about myself!
​
Below are the iconic skylines of some of the cities I've loved and lived in during my life. (You can find more information about them in my Travel section.)

MY
WORK
What I love about Marketing is the variety offered in this field. Through my experiences, I have been fortunate enough to explore the numerous facets of Marketing in different work environments. Those experiences have only cemented my desire to continually learn new things and add to my knowledge.
Below, you can find some of my professional work in the areas of Social Media, Graphic Design, and PR Campaigns.

MY
CLIENTS
​
Over the past few years, I have been fortunate enough to work, volunteer and intern for some truly wonderful organizations.
Below, you can find a collection of the clients for whom I have provided marketing work in some way, shape or form, one of which is based in Dublin, Ireland! I'll let you figure out which one it is...
​
Currently, I have the fortune of working at a truly incredible marketing agency in Dubai (Tactical) where I'm managing Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts, including Jumeirah Group and Burj Al Arab Jumeirah.
TRAVEL
Oh, yes, I have my own Travel Section - someone should probably warn the New York Times...
Yes, I know everyone wants to travel, see the world, experience new things, and so on. So why should I be any different?
​
As you can see, I've been lucky enough to to visit and live in 9 different countries across 4 continents.
​
Through my travels - especially as I have grown older - I have found a true appreciation for the bond that unites every human being. Anywhere you go, there are differences in culture and language, but there are so many things we all have in common. Whether it's who we love, what we do or how we see the world, there is a common thread within each of us that can tie us to someone a world away.
​
It is this thinking - this philosophy of togetherness and belonging - that I hope to bring to my work, no matter where it may lead me.
