Outpost Kuwait Team

Zarnaz Elmi, Focal Point

Hi, I am Zarnaz! I am an electronic engineer and have worked in several fields from electronics and cables designs to community help and support organizations.

I am coming from Aberdeen, Scotland and arrived in Kuwait 2 years ago with my family. I have a 9-year-old daughter and a 4.5-year-old son,  who make sure mummy always has something to do!
I am passionate about traveling and meeting people from different cultures. I love reading books and enjoy exercising and Tennis. 

I joined Outpost team as “Events Coordinator” in March 2023.

Monalisa Basu, Events Coordinator

Hello, my name is Monalisa. I am originally from India. Over the years, my family and I have lived outside India since 2002, residing in countries such as UAE, Oman, and Brunei before finally relocating to Kuwait in January 2023.

I am a graduate in Zoological Science and a proud mother of two wonderful daughters. During my time in Brunei, I had the pleasure of serving as an event coordinator for the Indian community of Panaga Club. This gave me an opportunity to bond and connect with people of diverse cultures and communities. I  also adore traveling to different countries and exploring their cultures and cuisines.

Anelya Nazarbayeva, Website Administrator

My name is Anelya, I am from Kazakhstan and we’ve been in Kuwait from September 2022. My husband Marco works in the North Field and we have 2 children that attend The English School (TES) in Salmiya. Prior to the move to Kuwait we were 3 years in Brunei, 4 years in Oman and Kazakhstan.

I have an IT background and I used to work in our Shell Venture in Kazakhstan. I also do digital art as my hobby so it came as a natural choice to me to assist and become the Web Administrator.

I am looking forward to work with Outpost team in Kuwait and to meet all the Shell spouses.

Walaa Ibrahim, Meet and Greet Coordinator

My name is Walaa, and I am from Egypt. I’ve been in Kuwait since January 2023. I’m a mother of 3 kids, and they are students in New English School (NES). I have an Engineering degree and I used to work in the Oil and Gas field.

My family and I started our Expat life in 2014 when we moved from Cairo to Aberdeen and then moved to Dubai in 2017. While living in Aberdeen and Dubai, I was involved with the Outpost as a volunteer.

I enjoy reading, attending functional training classes, and meeting new people. 

I’m pleased to be a member of the Outpost Kuwait Team, and I am happy to assist you with the non-contractual information for your smooth transition.
