Background: I am an experienced educator and counseling professional with a passion for helping students during their educational journey. Over the past decade, I have worked in both K–12 and higher education settings across the U.S. and Middle East. During my time in Kuwait, I've had the opportunity to hold roles as an ELA teacher, program coordinator, and I have served in academic advising roles at the university level. I’ve also led student workshops and events, as well as collaborated with school teams to support student achievement and well-being.
For my educational background, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Education in Education Administration, and I am currently pursuing a Doctorate of Education in Organizational Leadership at Northeastern University.
I believe strongly in creating inclusive, supportive learning environments where every student feels valued and encouraged to succeed.
I am excited for this new chapter at AUS, supporting the school community, and helping students reach their full potential.
