Since 2009, I have been working in the field of education, which I consider both my passion and my mission. Throughout my career, I have sought to combine academic excellence with instilling authentic Islamic values in students. I believe that the role of an educational leader and teacher goes beyond delivering knowledge; it is about being a role model in character and supporting students’ holistic growth. With this vision, I have worked to create a safe and motivating learning environment that nurtures individual differences, develops talents, and encourages critical thinking and creativity. I have also strengthened my leadership skills in managing educational teams, strategic planning, and effective communication with parents, students, and staff, enabling me to achieve measurable improvements in academic performance and enhance the overall quality of the educational process. Looking ahead, my vision is to contribute to building a well-educated and conscientious generation that excels academically while upholding strong values, and to continue advancing schools in line with the best international educational practices.

I have spent more than two decades in education, with the last fourteen years leading in schools across the Gulf region. My journey has taken me from the UK to Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, and now Oman, where each role has deepened my commitment to building schools that are rigorous, inclusive, and genuinely transformational.

Before joining UIS in 2021, I served as Deputy Head and Head of Junior School at Gulf English School in Kuwait, where I led a KS2 department of 34 teachers and 784 students. During that time, we shifted the entire school to Age-Related Expectations; by 2019, 97% of pupils met expectations and 36% exceeded them—outcomes that were recognised in our inspection report. Prior to Kuwait, I spent three years in Abu Dhabi as Head of Faculty (Science), leading a team of 14 educators and guiding the department to top-quartile performance in the Irtiqaa inspection.

I hold the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) and am an accredited BSO Inspector through PENTA International. I have also completed Harvard’s Leaders of Learning programme and hold an MSc in Business Management alongside my PGCE and QTS. These qualifications ground my leadership in both evidence and practice, but what drives me most is the privilege of shaping schools where children thrive, staff grow, and communities feel genuinely invested.

My approach is straightforward: clarity, integrity, and a relentless focus on what matters—teaching, learning, and the wellbeing of every individual in our care. I believe that sustainable improvement comes from strong systems, coaching that builds capacity, and a culture where excellence is both expected and supported.

I am proud to serve this community and excited about the journey ahead

I began my journey at UPS as a Maths Teacher in 2013. I have been able to take on various leadership roles focussed on improving the educational experiences for our students. My qualifications and training not only empower me to lead on curriculum, but enable me to nurture both the academic and personal growth of each student.My teaching philosophy is a fusion of traditional Islamic values and contemporary educational techniques. More than simply aiming for academic excellence, I focus on fostering qualities like discipline, respect and compassion within each student. I view education as an all-encompassing journey that prepares individuals to make positive contributions to society.Additionally, I use a data-driven approach to educational leadership. Through careful use of metrics and analytics, I am committed to fine-tuning our educational methods and curriculum. This ensures that our programmes are not only emotionally engaging, but also intellectually challenging.
