JM Kayne

Hello! I’m JM Kayne, originally from Cebu, Philippines, and I’ve been living in Dubai, UAE, for nearly 16 years.

I am a Teacher, Learning & Development and Performance Management professional with a passion for education and personal growth. After graduating in 2005, I spent over three years as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher before moving to Abu Dhabi, UAE. There, I gained experience in telemarketing for a Safety Training Centre before transitioning into my current role as a Learning & Performance Management Officer in an Oil & Gas company in Dubai.

In December 2017, my journey led me to Dubai—just a two-hour drive from Abu Dhabi, but still within the vibrant UAE!

Beyond my professional career, I have a deep love for writing about life in general—faith, family, love, travel, food, and more. I enjoy collaborating with others and have been working with brands and services since March 2017. Feel free to explore the Collaboration section to learn more.

I share the stories #InMyHeart here on this blog and also vlogs on JM Kayne on #JMTV my YouTube channel which includes #BNK #ByaheNgKokobears where my husband and I explore UAE and nearby countries through camping & overlanding.
