“My journey began in Dubai in 2018, where I spent six incredible years working with renowned brands and high-end venues in Downtown and DIFC. Along the way, I met amazing people in the hospitality industry and gained strong expertise in the field. Last year, I moved to Abu Dhabi, where I now manage two venues, continuing to grow and contribute to the industry.

“For over 10 years, I’ve been deeply immersed in shaping Dubai’s ever-evolving bar scene, moving from high-volume establishments to fine dining bar experiences. The past three years have been spent pioneering and shaping trends around sustainability in the hospitality industry, particularly at Boca. I played an instrumental role in developing and championing sustainable practices that not only reduced our environmental footprint but also set a new standard for how bars and restaurants can lead by example.”

Osmari Plaza, Gigi Beach, Dubai

“In an industry often dominated by men, I’ve embraced every challenge as an opportunity to prove that skill, passion, and leadership have no gender. Working in Dubai has allowed me to expand my knowledge of hospitality on a global scale, learning from diverse cultures and pushing my own limits. Every shift is a chance to create memorable experiences. My career is not just about serving drinks, it’s about redefining expectations, seizing opportunities, and proving that there are no limits to what we can achieve.”

Signature Ramadan Mocktail: Amalfi Tonico, a simple cocktail using Lyre’s Italian spritz, mixed with bitter lemon and bubbles.
