The Green Spine, designed by URB in collaboration with EPIC Lab, promises to redefine urban mobility through 100 per cent solar-powered trams and eco-conscious infrastructure
I would have to say a time machine. I know it's a bit clichéd but balancing a family and a career is not easy, so there are times when I would love to just pause [time] so I can collect myself, or slow down time spent with family and then fast forward stressful times.
If you could move anywhere in the world for free, what place would that be?
I would definitely choose Dubai. It is an ever-evolving, inspirational and innovative city with endless opportunities. It caters to everyone, single or married, with kids or without, young and old. I have been to many countries around the world - and they are all nice for a holiday but I wouldn't trade Dubai for any of them.
The biggest learning point/ experience in your life.
I think my whole life has been a learning experience and I am still learning. I've learnt that you have to believe in yourself, listen to your gut, be prepared, be patient, persevere, be positive, stay focused, and breathe. Oh, and that there are no dumb questions, so ask!
If you won a million bucks tomorrow, what would you do with the money?
I would start a philanthropic fund that would help others realise their dreams, whether it was helping someone continue an education or undergo a life-changing surgery. I believe when you do good, good finds its way back to you.
What advice would you give your younger self, if you could?
Enjoy every moment. Things always turn out how they are meant to be, so pace yourself and enjoy the journey.
If you could go back to any era in time or witness any major event in history, which one would it be, and why?
I would like to go back to back to the 1920s (because I don't think I could survive without some perks of the modern world, if I went any further back!). And I would like to have experienced the women's movement and been a part of it too.
Your greatest fear.
My greatest fear is not being a good person. To me, a good person means being a good mum, a good friend and family member, a good boss/colleague and partner. Being able to treat everyone fairly and seeing the good in them, and helping others when they need it.
If you could trade lives with one person for an entire day, who would it be and why?
I have always fancied being a writer so I have to say JK Rowling. I would love to tap into her imagination and understand how she develops her books.
Your favourite movie character of all time - and why.
I love The Pursuit of Happyness, where Will Smith plays the role of Chris Gardner. The movie is so inspirational because Chris goes from a single, homeless dad to a successful person and never gives up, despite the struggle.
If you could have your pick of superpowers, what special power would you opt for?
I think I would want to be able to read people's minds to understand them better.
