However, over time, I recognized the potential for art and creativity to be used as a tool for education and empowerment. I transformed The Orenda Tribe into a company that integrates creative experiences with social and emotional learning to educate young people about social issues and inspire them to take action and make a positive change in the world. We went from a company that simply illustrated children's artwork on t-shirts to a company that uses art as a means of empowering youth to create a more compassionate world. We offer a variety of online games, retail products and creative workshops for B2C & B2B that compliment our mission. Through the journey I led several projects across the MENA region in collaboration with Save the Children International, PepsiCo MENA, Chalhoub Group, Arab Bank, the Crown Prince Foundation, Education Above All, Airbnb and others. In 2022, Her Royal Highness Princess Noor Bint Asem acquired part of the company to join us as Chairwoman and an active partner who is helping us alleviate the brand into new markets with a more focused impact.

Floater in Private Banking

Jul 2007 - Sep 2007
Floaters are team members who are assigned to help where needed in the bank, therefore interning as a floater exposed me to a different team each day of the internship and allowed me to develop my versatility. I introduced account managers to two high net worth individuals who became clients of the private bank.
