Depth is earned.
Vision is built.
I started on the rig floor. Petroleum engineering degree, then straight to the Al Dhafra desert as an MWD field engineer. By the time I became a Drilling Operations Supervisor, I was one of the first Emirati women in that role, running an 80+ multidiscipline crew on 21-day rotations and 12-hour shifts. Safety, cost, delivery: all mine.
I was part of the team behind a $2 billion+ project and went on to lead company sole risk projects as an Unconventional Senior Drilling Engineer. From there I moved into the CEO office as a Corporate Excellence Specialist, then into asset planning for ultrasour resources. Along the way I finished a master's in Quality and Business Excellence.
I also authored the first academic study focused on the rise of oil and gas megatrends: AI, environmental sustainability, and IPO activity, and their effects on the UAE's growth and economy.
The operational background is what makes the strategy work. I build excellence frameworks and transformation plans that hold up because I have run the operations behind them.
Field truth first
Strategy that ignores operational reality is theatre. Every framework I build is stress-tested against how work actually happens.
Excellence as culture
Not compliance checklists — living systems of performance, governance and continuous improvement that leadership actually uses.
Lift as you climb
Pioneering means leaving the door open: mentoring the next generation of female engineers and leaders across the energy sector.
