Currently, I oversee all the news output of a busy UAE-based newsroom. As assistant editor in chief I have not oversee the editorial side of the newspaper, but also the business side. Before moving to Abu Dhabi I exec produced short documentaries and podcasts for a range of publishers, including the BBC and Audible. In the future, I would love to establish a commercial production house under a big brand.

I am new to Abu Dhabi, after living for 16 years in London, and very interested in meeting new people, and potentially finding friends and inspiration for my work. I would like to add to the community - my fun spirit, can-do attitude and a nack for bringing together ideas and people.

My happy space is a gallery and my release is music. I really enjoy sharing my love for both with my children and on my podcast Culture Bites, which is for the National Arts and Culture section. I particularly enjoy the intelligent discussions around the Middle Eastern art scene right now, like the Saudi hiphop scene going viral. Recently the podcast won a Signal Award for best host, and I hope that the dedicated fanbase will keep growing. In my spare time I paint, read and exercise.
