My Story

Being raised by a Saudi father and an Algerian mother I was blessed to be able to grow and develop within a multicultural environment. My father spoke to me and my brothers in Arabic while my mother focused on English and French. I spent the majority of my childhood and teenage years in the ARAMCO compound, but I attended school outside of the compound in a traditional Saudi way, this I believe gave me a unique perspective of Saudi Arabia and its diversity.

 

I decided to pursue a career in Dentistry because I had always had a deep passion for the human body and health in general. Another reason was because I wanted to earn a living while being able to positively impact peoples lives.

 

In parallel to my career I had another life, one that was filled with solo travel and volunteer work. I traveled to learn and to be able to grow and mature as human being. My travels have taken me to extraordinary places with many ups and downs, an emotional rollercoaster to say the least. I have recently embarked on a new journey, I quit my full time job as a dentist and am now perusing what I believe I am best at, helping people personalize their wellness and better understand their internal and external worlds.
