I love to meet interesting people, hear their stories and put them down on paper. My work also includes editing and picture editing as well as sourcing interesting features. I work for the Dubai's only fully independent and well-read newspaper, 7DAYS.

The beats I cover include general interest, lifestyle, culture, art, music, film, theatre, health, active, outdoor, adventure, motoring, entertainment, travel, UAE life.
