Meet the team
Saiqa Pirmohamed
Project Manager
Hey there! I'm Saiqa, and I'm currently studying Economics at King's College London. I founded this organisation in 2015, and am looking forward to seeing it grow and prosper! In my spare time, I enjoy relaxing at the beach, practising my digital art and playing netball. I love animals; we home 3 adorable cats and a very naughty parrot! I have one year of my university degree left, after which I hope to start my own company. I don't know what this company will specialise in yet, but I do know that our main aim will be to empower others!
Jana Eissa
Communications Manager
My name is Jana Eissa. I am 16 years old and I am from Egypt. I enjoy debating and attending MUN conferences as well as playing most kinds of sport, however, I must say my favourite is football. My favourite football team is Liverpool all the way. I dislike cooking however I love eating the food that I make. My parents are vets yet they don’t want to have pets. When I heard about Femmes of Dubai I immediately fell in love with the initiative. It reminds of us of the successful women out there and encourages female empowerment. Wow right!
I am a very competitive, passionate and committed person. I love to meet new people and learn about new cultures. Fun fact about me is that I have been to 9 schools and I am going to my 10th soon. Don’t forget to smile today :)
