Achievements
The combination of my varied work experience has allowed me to develop sound communication, client servicing, sales and organizational skills, enabling me to consistently and effectively manage my workload confidently. In addition to these skills and abilities gained in the last 10 years, I previously studied for a foundation in fine art, and as such have held solo and group exhibitions in Cairo and London. This experience has helped me to develop an understanding of the growth and evolution of modern Egypt and the Middle East, and I feel very passionately about being a part of it and encouraging growth and development in all areas.
