Joseph Allan de Guzman

Operations Associate, Qasr Al Watan

More about you
One thing I’m truly proud of is my personal advocacy: donating platelets every 15 days at SEHA Khalidiya Blood Bank, a commitment I started during the pandemic. It became my way of giving back and supporting people who need it most. It’s a small act, but it reminds me that kindness can save lives. By the end of the month of May 2026, I will reach my 100th blood and platelet donation in the UAE. I consider it as a milestone. Humble and proud Miralie.

How did the Yas Captain program help you?
The Yas Captain program helped me reinvent myself. It pushed me to grow, communicate with more confidence. It strengthened my mindset, helped me discover new strengths, and encouraged me to bring out the best version of myself. Because of the skills and confidence I gained, I achieved one of my proudest milestones—earning my first Wow‑er of the Year award at the Ruwad Awards 2026.
The program didn’t just help me improve; it helped me believe in what I’m capable of and inspired me to continue serving others in meaningful ways. I am Joseph. And I am ready to serve our guests as a FORMER Yas Captain. Million thanks to the brilliant minds behind Yas Captain program.
