About

With 3+ years of cumulative experience across global operations and mental health services in the UAE and UK, I bring a unique ability to bridge business goals with human behaviour, supporting healthier, high-performing workplaces. I am a Business Psychology professional focused on organisational development, employee wellbeing, and culture transformation. In my most recent role as Global Operations Lead Manager, I strengthened employee engagement, supported cross-functional delivery, and contributed to people-centric process improvements. I enjoy working at the intersection of stakeholder management, operational problem-solving, and workplace culture, ensuring teams stay aligned, supported, and productive. My experience within NHS inpatient mental health services has shaped my resilience, empathy, and communication in high-pressure environments. It also strengthened my ability to collaborate within multidisciplinary teams, follow structured care planning, and contribute to outcomes through consistency and accountability. I am currently completing my MSc Business Psychology thesis on emotionally intelligent leadership, psychological safety, and employee creativity in Dubai’s tech ventures. I’m confident working with both qualitative and quantitative research methods, using tools such as SPSS and Qualtrics to translate insights into practical, measurable initiatives. I am now seeking opportunities as an Organisational Development Analyst where I can contribute to engagement programs, change initiatives, culture building, and evidence-based people strategy.
