Hi 👋!
My name is Katrina. 🙋🏼
I'm ethnically Russian, was born and raised in Uzbekistan and now living in Dubai for the last 8 years. 🌴🌊☀️
I was growing up in multinational environment, where in my class at school we had 8 different nationalities, so I don't know what racism is, for me all people are equal. I love the cultural mix we have in Dubai. It's when we all celebrate any kind of holidays, whether it's Christmas or Eid.
I love music 🎶 so much. Singing 🎤? Yes! Dancing 💃🏼? Yes! 😊
Lately I started Salsa and Bachata classes and love it, though I'm still considered a beginner. 😊While writing this note about me, I'm flying to Lebanon for Latin festival 😊
I'm very social and friendly. People say I'm fun to be with. 👫👯💃🏼🕺🏻I also admin several networking and interests groups in Dubai, including Russian speaking ladies community group. We organize a lot of events for our group, such as barbecues, camping, hiking, trips and local travel, nights out, etc.
I love conversations about anything, there are only two things that I never discuss are politics and religion, those two create arguments in my opinion and that's not what I love to do with friends. 😊
I handcraft a bit and tutor Russian language. My main field is Food and Beverage, have been in it for the last 16+ years, all the way from the waitress to multisite operator.
Now while looking for a new job opportunity, I try to travel as much as I may afford and meet as many nice people as I can. Let's catch up and have fun! 😘

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm... Amazing thing in terms of memories or achievements? 😊In terms of memories, I loved to have a Mediterranean cruise, its was amazing. Highlighting the great spots and meeting nice people on the way. Some become friends, and I love it! :)
In terms of achievements, I believe my biggest pleasure is to see my staff growing up in their careers and appreciating my mentoring. It makes me feel so proud about them, when I see great results! 😊
