WELCOME

Community. Sustainability. Equality.

These core values serve as the foundation for my global professional and personal pursuits as a social entrepreneur, consultant and producer.

Whether you are from an organisation seeking a strong operations/project manager, an innovative entrepreneur interested in collaboration or a Middle Eastern dance-enthusiast, I can offer you my valuable skills, optimism and energy.  Click on my CV links below for details.

Middle Eastern Dance/Production CV

This website captures my personal and professional passions in these categories: living, delivering, dancing and mentoring.  I also write articles and actively use social media to discuss: living healthy, designing sustainable communities, advocating for multiculturalism, educating and empowering women, and performing/producing Middle Eastern dance.

Please contact me - I am always looking to connect with new people and organisations.

And, I recommend supporting important educational and empowerment causes like the Medine Memi Scholarship. With Dunya, I host a regular dance and music showcase – Hafla on the Hill – that supports many great causes like this one:

Medine Memi Girls’ Empowerment Scholarships

I’m proud of co-producing an innovative theatre show One Day in Istanbul empowering women through the beauty of Ottoman-inspired dance with Ozgen and my production partner Rosy Summerbell of Dunya Bellydance. Our show sold out at the Cockpit Theatre in Central London on 2nd December 2012 and we are taking it on tour to Leeds, UK on 2nd March 2013! For more information, email hello@dunyabellydance.com.
