I've coordinated restaurant pre-opening and operational improvement projects in fast-paced, multicultural UAE environments for more than nine years. At SHEEN Specialty Tea, I planned workstreams, assigned resources, tracked budgets and timelines, and managed risks to support operational readiness.

I've led the Yogashi Bakery pre-opening at Dubai Mall of the Emirates, managing the charter, scope, budget, schedule, licensing, design, procurement, staffing, training, SOPs, and opening activities. In my current restaurant and operations role at Hither & Yon, I coordinate teams, suppliers, schedules, inventory, and cost-control actions.
