Karen Ayat Issa, LL.M.'s Linkedin Analytics

Growing up, I had a passion for writing. Words came easy to me. I was also very stubborn. My parents thought I'd make a great lawyer. Many years later, I studied law. Upon graduating, I was faced with the eventuality of entering a law firm. I wasn't sure. I took a banking job. And it was fun. For a while. Until I was ready for my next move. I've always been a dilettante. Interested in everything. For a short period of time. But then I found Swish. Or actually, I founded it. And it was the most natural thing. Something that just happened. Without any planning, or thinking. I come from a country where people take pride in their hospitality. Creating a business that focuses on hosting guests with generosity, warmth and kindness is fulfilling in every way. And for the first time in my life, I will be sticking around for a while.
