I began my career as a Graphic Designer at Khaleej Times in Dubai, where I developed a solid foundation in layout design and print preparation. Over time, I advanced to the role of Production Manager, gaining hands-on experience across commercial offset, packaging, and digital printing environments. Throughout my career, I have produced thousands of print pieces, implemented new technologies, and adapted quickly to evolving production requirements.

I bring a strong work ethic, technical proficiency, and a genuine passion for the print industry—qualities that I am confident will be valuable in a Print Services Coordinator role.
