KEY TAKEAWAYS
I spend money on experiences whether its learning experiences or travel experiences with my family
I believe the memories you make and what you learn from travel and exposure to educators is worthwhile
Every day was a scary day because you didn’t know what was going to happen
When it’s human to human regardless of your background or your job you will help someone in need
In 2004 Dubai were offering visas and I was finally able to move my Mum and Dad to safety
Every person in Bagdad of my generation has a story
We grew up in a world where politics played a big role in our lives – you could live today and die tomorrow
It was hard to be positive for a very long time, living the fear every day
I used to mentor myself – saying nothing could last forever and that I could do this
I believe in a greater good and purpose and that sometimes things happen for a reason
You move to being in a reactive mode, just wanting to fix things
Have a plan and if something goes wrong fix it. A decision is better than no decision
You have to be brave; no one is going to make the decisions for you and the hardest decisions are those that define your destiny
You have to have faith and show up every time you are needed
Don’t judge or blame just show up and fix it

BEST MOMENTS

‘We reached a point where if you went out you said goodbye to everyone because you didn’t know if you’d be coming back’

‘The hardest decisions are those that make you who you are’

‘If people can binge-watch they can binge learn’
