Mum, Businesswoman, and founder of Abu Dhabi’s most active and engaged Facebook Forums.
I’m a forty something expat Mum who found her calling in the UAE! I live in Abu Dhabi with my family and it’s been home for 15 years. I immersed myself in serving the community here by creating a Facebook group 10 years ago. The objective was to help others when I struggled to find real time information relating to daily life as a newbie in the city. That little group grew into a beast taking me on an amazing journey of once in a lifetime experiences to opening a business and doing a TEDx talk. I’m passionate about community and bringing everyone together to make happy, helpful and peaceful connections and memories in Abu Dhabi.
