About me

My career path over the last 17 years has focused on technical aspect of project management.I have been a full-time employee in both private and governmental sectors.I dabbled in freelancing as well, working with leading event management agencies in Qatar and Europe, contributing to the success of large-scale projects, developing a network of creative professionals and reliable suppliers.I have a strong grounding in providing creative and technical/operational solutions, both in project preparationand operations.

I have been lucky to be a part of the production teams of numerous diverse theatre projects, from exhibitions and conferences, tolarge-scale artistic performances such as operas, musicals and theatre plays. At the same time, I have been working on my education in the field, attending some of the best trainings and courses related to theater operations, stage management, event management in general, etc. With the experience I have and interest I nurtured throughout years, I am perfectly capable not only to manage a theater, but to build one, source staff and suppliers and then manage it and work on its further development.
