Skater Uktis was founded by Nusaiba Al-Azami, a trainee psychotherapist completing her masters in Psychodynamic Counselling, and a lover of the sport. Nusaiba stopped skating at a young age, but returned to it a few years ago; she aspires to be a professional skater and is passionate about using skating as a tool for personal development.
