Almost everything worthwhile carries with it some sort of risk, whether it’s starting a new business, whether it’s leaving home, whether it’s getting married, or whether it’s flying into space.

Summary

Highly motivated professional with a strong background in fashion, events and public relations. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about the fashion industry and have gained valuable experience working in various capacities within this field. My expertise lies in organizing and executing successful fashion events, managing public relations campaigns, and building strong relationships with clients and industry professionals.

One of my key strengths is my ability to communicate effectively in multiple languages. I am fluent in Arabic, French, and English, which has allowed me to connect with diverse audiences and establish strong connections with individuals from different cultural backgrounds. This linguistic versatility has proven to be a valuable asset in my work, as it enables me to navigate international markets, negotiate with foreign clients, and engage with a wide range of stakeholders.

I have a proven track record of planning and executing large-scale fashion shows, product launches, and brand activations. I have a keen eye for detail and a knack for creating immersive experiences that captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression. From selecting the perfect venue to coordinating backstage logistics and managing media coverage.
