Amira Habashi
Habashi Communications
Artistic and Communications/Marketing Coordinator
amira.habashi@mondialdescultures.com

A lawyer by trade, Amira has always worked in the artistic field.  Her career began at the Centre culturel of Drummondville, where she occupied various positions, and then continued on in May 2005 to the Mondial des Cultures.  Very fond of everything that has to do with the cultural environment, for her to join the organization of the festival was a natural fit.  In January 2008, she founded her own communications company.  Offering her clients unique service, new ideas and providing them with her numerous contacts is for Amira the key to success.  Matching both her artistic affinities and communicating skills, her function at the Mondial des Cultures allows her to use all the facets of her personality.
