Patricia Mutie knows what it means to work at any level despite their degrees...
She was able to make humble investments with the money I earned as a Housekeeper in Dubai. Worked in some of the great hotels there and was fortunate to grow from an information agent to a Director of Operations.
She is one of the few Kenyans to have held leadership positions in Dubai and she is sharing her experiences with those seeking to pursue careers out there in order to encourage them to pursue their dream

I mean.. there has to be an achievement difference and a concrete one as to why you’re not home. Anyone who’s never thought like this.. it’s high time to reevaluate and get a perspective💚.
