Her community engagement and participation also includes a number of offshore projects. In November 2009 she became a member of and serves as an advisor to the UNESCO Lebanese Training Professionals Program which helps women from Arab countries . Since 2006 she has also been an active member of RES Foundation Australia Inc., where she sits on the Advisory Board.
