Yasmine graduated from the University of Westminster with an MA in Interactive Multimedia in 2004. Her aims when applying for her scholarship were to transfer knowledge gained from her studies to others by delivering workshops, and to set up her own consultancy.
She is now Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of SuperMama, a website aimed at mothers. In order to set up this business venture, Yasmine drew on her IT skills previously learned and perfected whilst working as a Usability Engineer and Business Analyst with the Egyptian company ITWORX.
In addition to her role at SuperMama, she started work on creating a handmade greeting cards business in 2008, after leaving ITWORX, and she is also the founder of Coushies a local, designer-cushion online store that supplies soft furnishing that suit every modern home.
In her spare time, Yasmine has taken up photography as a hobby and also writes short stories which she publishes in an e-group for Egyptians interested in art and culture.
