Following ten challenging yet rewarding years teaching students with special needs in the USA, she started her journey in the GCC as a Deputy Head of Primary, in one of the leading academies in Doha for two years.

So, I’m very excited to join the NGS Leadership Team. Together we can help shape a brilliant future for our children, raising well rounded, educated proud Muslims, who can be leaders each in their favorite field.”
