About Me

As a Licensed UAE Educator and Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK)-Approved Moral, Social, and Cultural Studies & Islamic Education Teacher for Arabic Speakers and Non-Arabic Speakers, I view teaching as a human art โ€” a space where intellect, ethics, and empathy meet. My passion lies in guiding learners to think critically, act responsibly, and see knowledge not as information, but as a path to self-understanding and global awareness.

Before entering education, I worked extensively in leadership, management, and business development โ€” experiences that strengthened my ability to connect with people, organise effectively, and lead with purpose. These transferable skills now inform my teaching, helping me create structured, inclusive, and motivating learning environments that value every student's voice. Rooted in a background in philosophy and the humanities, I believe that education should awaken both the mind and the conscience. My goal is to cultivate in students the harmony between thought and action โ€” the same harmony I continue to seek as an educator, learner, and human being.
