Lebanon

Message

I founded Dana’s Diamonds with an initial $10K investment and developed it into a profitable luxury jewelry business generating approximately $75K in annual net profit. I’ve designed more than 700 pieces and managed branding, sourcing, production, sales, and customer relationships.

As an Event Brand Consultant in Dubai, I managed sponsorships and branding activations for events including My Music X Festival and Sheikh Mansour Photography Awards. I secured over $100K in sponsorships and media partnerships and coordinated VIP hospitality for international artists.

Since 2024, I’ve coordinated humanitarian relief in Lebanon, working with donors, NGOs, municipalities, and volunteers to support displaced families. My work has included organizing aid distributions, coordinating temporary housing, and conducting field assessments.
