Tara

Born & raised in the UK with Middle Eastern roots, Tara moved to Abu Dhabi and quickly fell in love with the city. But she also saw a gap - a chance to help expats truly integrate, connect with local culture and feel a deeper sense of belonging.
 

With over a decade of experience building inclusive, people-first cultures inside organisations, she’s now bringing that work into society - helping people onboard into a new environment and culture, while creating real-life spaces where friendships grow and communities thrive.

​

Favourite place in Abu Dhabi: the calm waters of Saadiyat.

Marlies

Born and raised in Germany, Marlies enjoys discovering new places and experiences in Abu Dhabi. With a background in intercultural dialogue and gender justice, she has worked on projects across Europe and Africa supporting migrant communities and raising awareness about gender-based violence.

​

She became an integrator because she believes in the power of community – something she’s experienced around the world and sees as key to feeling at home, building connections, and truly belonging.

​

Favorite place in Abu Dhabi: El Mazaara – a peaceful escape that reminds her of home.
