After joining Dubai Air Navigation Services (dans) in 2014 as an Air Traffic Control Officer (ATCO), she rose up the ranks due to her hard work, perseverance and dedication.

She’s responsible for managing the daily direction of ATC operations, as well as ensuring consistency in safety and service delivery, and manages an entire watch comprising of five Air Traffic Control Officers.
