Well hello there!
I’m Christie
I’m delighted you popped by to learn a bit more about me.
I’m a busy wife, and mum of two daughters and one Goldendoodle named George. Together, we form a chaotic but lovable family who spends way more time listening to Taylor Swift than we care to admit.
When I came to Abu Dhabi in 2023, I’d just left a twenty year career in the Canadian public service as a program and project manager. I carried lots of experience and knowledge with me that I didn’t want to go to waste… but also, I knew that I wanted to use them on my own terms. So I set off to explore my entrepreneurship options.
Fast forward to today… I am still in the business of serving the public. Women to be specific. I am passionate about helping women who come to Abu Dhabi find their footing and live a professional life on their own terms, just like what I’d longed for when I got here.
For many, including myself, moving to Abu Dhabi meant an opportunity for rebirth, and fulfillment in doing what I loved to do, the way I love to do it. There’s no better way to be of service than to help other women grow to their full potential.
This website is full of knowledge, and resources that I have gathered and crafted along the way. As an avid lifelong learner, I promise to never stop learning about new programs and services available to women in the region. I promise to always share what I believe to be enriching. And most importantly, I promise to always say “I don’t know, but I can find out,” if I don’t have the answers to your questions.
If you haven’t already, come and find me on Instagram and give me a follow. There, you’ll be alerted to almost everything that gets added to this website.

Get to know me a little more...
I’m a fun-loving, self-deprecating mama who just crossed into her forties. In my short life, I have experienced tremendous wins and intense grief. I have loved, lost, laughed until I cried. I have traveled to many countries on almost every continent. I have met so many people and experienced so many different perspectives that have enriched my own.
I am a staunch believer that absolutely everyone on this earth has a purpose and a story that matters.
I’m unequivocal about supporting everyone, no matter of their past, present, future, or who they are. Everyone is always welcome to be heard.
I’m super people-y… so please don’t ever hesitate to reach out to me.
