“I’m looking forward to Epizode, a music festival that’s taking place in Vietnam. I don't think I have the energy and endurance to go for all 11 days of non-stop partying so I’ll just go for some of them.”

“Don’t try to plan your life, because that’s not going to work out. Just go with the flow, live in the moment, and make the most of it.”

“One of my best experiences at work is getting exposure to a huge variety of brands that I work with, as well as the industries that they’re part of.”

“A lot of people are doing their part for the people around them, so if I could be a superhero, I’d rather be Captain Planet to help the environment and animals as they tend to be more neglected.”

“If I could witness any event of the past, present, or future, I’d like to witness the downfall of mankind in the future and understand why that happened.”

“The most difficult case I’ve come across was dealing with sexual abuse of a child who was eight, whose parents were drug addicts.”

We find there are many tales behind a string of precious stones, given by a loved one; a raggedy, well-worn friendship bracelet; or a roughly-hewn ring, imperfect and unpolished.

“The best piece of advice I’ve ever received is from my dad, who always says that everything happens for a reason. I’ve only come to understand this recently.”

“Some things I can’t live without in my wardrobe are my hijab and turtle necks. I’d describe my style as easygoing, because I’ll just wear anything I like.”

“If I could say one thing to the world, it would be for everyone to be a bit more tolerant and understanding, and less judgemental towards issues like religion and homosexuality.”

“I’d be riding motorbikes if I weren't an Architecture professor. I don't know if that can be counted as a job, but it’ll be a good one!”

“My style depends on my mood on the day itself. My wardrobe comprises of tight dresses for days when I want to dress up; vintage and bohemian-style clothing; and high-waisted and midi skirts.”
