نبذة عني

Former Paralympic swimmer, winning two Gold Medals, one Silver, and setting multiple world records over three Paralympic cycles. The skills, determination, and life lessons I learned from maintaining that level of performance under pressure over a period of 10 years are exactly what I’ve brought into my professional career.

After retiring from competitive swimming, I shifted my focus to the sports business world in the Middle East. My background as an athlete gave me a unique perspective on the sports and wellness industry, which I’ve used to help organizations, startups, and businesses grow strategically, improve operations, increase profitability, and scale effectively. I’m also dedicated to developing teams and athletes, ensuring they reach their full potential.

Having co-founded a sports academy startup that grew to over 2,000 users across multiple locations in just two years I have managed everything that comes with a startup, from forming key partnerships to leading a diverse team, which solidified my passion for building and scaling successful ventures.

I’m also committed to making a positive impact outside of work. I support initiatives that promote diversity, equity, and social change. I have worked closely with the likes of Dubai Economy and Tourism to make the city more accessible for People of Determination, helping to make it an inclusive place to live and visit.
