Hey there! I’m a passionate educator with over 25 years of teaching experience. Currently pursuing doctoral studies in Educational Foundations. I’m deeply committed to the incredible power of education for personal growth and fulfillment. With a Master’s degree in International Education from Framingham State University, I’ve built a strong foundation of knowledge and expertise in my teaching practice. Throughout my career, I’ve also taken on diverse administrative roles, including School Director, Director of Studies, Department Head, and Accreditation Coordinator. Excitingly, I have the opportunity to train teachers in both English and Arabic. Join me on my personal blog, where I’ll be sharing insights, experiences, and practical advice about how education can transform lives and help us unlock our true potential. Let’s embark on this journey together!
