I would like to dedicate energy to being supportive of artists and performers on the region. A lot of my time was focused abroad, including being on the Board of Advisors for the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and now I’d like to do more in the UAE.

I would love to become a member in order to hear more about what is needed for creatives in the region and hopefully be a support to some

I collect art and am trying to focus on Emirati and other Arab artists. I am writing my thesis for my 3rd Masters degree which this time is in Cultural Leadership. I am on the Global Council for the American Ballet Theatre. I am a patron of Tribe Magazine which focuses on Arab photography. As a family, we sponsor the Saif Ghobash Banipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation. I am a huge fan of the Sharjah Art Foundation and am a patron of it too.
