Born in Bahrain, predominantly raised in the United Arab Emirates (among many other countries) & currently living in Canada, I am indeed a globetrotting millennial who prides herself in her international experiences. However, I am definitely not your average BuzzFeed portrayal of a “Third Culture Kid”. I bring with me energy, creativity, an eclectic array of skills/interests, a resilient ambition, a unique outlook & a highly curious mind that is constantly seeking opportunities, which provide me with a platform to pursue growth & purpose.Steve Jobs once said, “Creativity is connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they just saw something. They were able to connect experiences they’ve had & synthesize new things”. I am an advocate for connecting experiences & collaborating with others. I truly believe that by doing so, we can collectively open our minds to new ways of thinking & doing, consequently making great things happen. As an aspiring marketer & strategist, in the ever-evolving world of business, this is an approach I often use. With that said, my extensive international work & volunteer experiences at esteemed multinational companies & professional services firms, game-changing start-ups & non-profit organizations have equipped me with the knowledge & skills to be an appreciated member of any team, making valuable contributions that help drive organizations forward.
