The Learning Curve Podcast - THE Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs in the Middle East and North Africa Region: Nicholla caught up with Jacqueline for a coffee and a 'get to know her' session.  She is a professional antique jeweller & gemmologist as well as being the lady behind the Abu Dhabi Woman's Group Facebook Group.  She shares her top advise and insight into helping women discover their own entrepreneurial journey.

Inside this Episode
Jacqueline is a warm, passionate and driven woman. She LOVES jewellery, particularly gems and antique jewellery. She knows her product inside and out and continues to be inspired by the beauty of her industry.  Most will probably know her for her popular Facebook Group, Abu Dhabi Women's Group.  She's been in the UAE a long time and has built up a great network of colleagues and friends and has become a great 'go to' resource for lots of things in Abu Dhabi.  Just before we started the interview an 'emergency' was messaged to her.  She solved that problem in a blink.
