o Since 2021, I have led the Mechanics Wellness Initiative, a preventive medical check-up program for automobile mechanics and truck drivers across the UAE. In partnership with Aster Medical Group, Castrol Lubricants, and Dubai Police, this initiative provides free health screenings, blood pressure checks, diabetes tests, and general health consultations over a three-day period.
o This nationwide program focuses on promoting preventive healthcare for essential workers, improving their well-being, and raising awareness about the importance of regular health check-ups.
• Recognition & Impact:
o The Mechanics Wellness Initiative significantly improved healthcare access for UAE’s essential workforce. The program’s success has been recognized as a CSR model by industry leaders, benefiting thousands of mechanics and drivers across the UAE.
Women Empowerment in the
Automotive Industry:
• Supporting Women Breaking Barriers in Motorsports
Automotive Engineering:
o I have worked closely with inspiring women in the automotive industry, including Aman Al Qubaisi, the first Emirati female Formula 1 driver, Huda Al Mathroshi, the UAE’s first female auto mechanic, as well as Rana Hayak, Ayasha, Asma, Nora, and Shaima—pioneers in automotive engineering, motorsports, and car maintenance. My work also extends to Fouzia, the only female truck driver in the UAE, whom I supported in amplifying her unique journey in a male-dominated industry. Through storytelling campaigns and media outreach, I have helped showcase these women’s achievements, inspiring future generations of women to follow their path.
• Media Campaigns & Advocacy:
o I’ve led impactful media campaigns that have elevated the visibility of women in automotive sectors, demonstrating the value of diversity and encouraging more women to pursue careers in these traditionally male-dominated fields.
Early COVID-19 Relief Efforts:
• Community Support During the Pandemic:
o At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, my agency responded quickly to the urgent needs of essential workers by coordinating a comprehensive relief initiative. We distributed free face masks and sanitizers to automobile mechanics across the UAE, ensuring they had the necessary protective gear to continue working safely during the early stages of the pandemic.
o In addition, we took steps to sanitize automobile workshops, which were key hubs for maintaining the country’s transportation infrastructure, as well as the cars of doctors and ambulances to ensure the safety of medical professionals on the front lines.
o These efforts helped ensure that essential workers were protected during a critical period, supporting the UAE's public health measures and contributing to a safer working environment.
