Storytelling is where I started.

I studied English Literature, then went on to a Master’s in Publishing, both in London. That training still shapes how we work: find the story first, then decide where it should be told.
In the GCC, PR works differently. Media, creators and communities are closely connected. Trust is built through relationships, and a launch is judged as much by who is in the room as by what is printed. Brands need more than coverage. They need a clear narrative, cultural fluency and consistency across press, influencers and events. At OAK, you work with me directly, supported by our team in Dubai, so your story is shaped with care and placed where it carries weight.
