About Me

Technology has always been somewhat of a passion, even though I chose not to pursue it professionally. Most of my qualifications say otherwise though, as I have followed that passion to the post graduate level.

I felt that writing was my true calling, and therefore in the span of a 3 year career, I have written freelance, been a producer with a media company and worked as a news editor with a leading local English daily.

Writing for the technology channels at Bright Hub has given me the opportunity to bring together both my strengths in one place.

My Awards & Certifications

My Experience

I resigned as a news editor for a newspaper, where I was in charge of the children's edition, and business specials in travel and technology. I worked with the company for just over a year, and have left to start up something of my own.

My prior experience in writing is limited to a college magazine, a short stint at a media company, and various articles I have written as assignments from an agent. I don't even know where they were published as this information wasn't shared with us.

My computing experience is made up of the 5 years of formal education, where I have written many programs. During the courses, I have also had substantial project work with various companies in the city.

Other than that, I have worn many hats: as an HR trainee in ARENCO (Dubai), as a waitress in Indian Ocean Restaurant (Scunthorpe, UK), as supermarket pre-opening staff in Orange Supermarket (Dubai) and as a customer services representative in ABN Amro (Dubai). Plus, I have put together colour-boards for my mother's interior design company, and taught French for beginners in a graduate program.
