Sean Tierney
Hi, I'm Sean! I grew up in Abu Dhabi and spent 17 years there before moving back to Scotland for university. After completing my undergrad at the University of Stirling I then graduated from Edinburgh Napier in 2019 with a Msc in Clinical Exercise Science.
After graduating, I built a successful client base as a personal trainer at Nuffield Health in Glasgow, Giffnock and was at the forefront of setting up the Joint Pain Programme. In March 2024 I swapped helping people physically for financially and pursued a new career as a trainee international financial advisor back in Abu Dhabi.
When 滨鈥檓 not in my suit 滨鈥檓 usually in the gym, playing golf or watching the football in an Irish pub or sports bar.
I appreciate how daunting it can be for people who have never moved country before and have become an alumni champion to make sure that there is someone to try and help settle you into life here in the UAE. I love meeting new people and making new connections, so if you are moving to the UAE or currently live in the UAE, I would love to hear from you!
