Summary


I am a passionate and dedicated individual who cares deeply about people’s needs, especially those of children. I strongly believe that the early years of life play a vital role in shaping who a child will become, and this is why I love working in early years. Every teacher and practitioner has the opportunity to make a lasting difference, and I am committed to being part of that impact.

Alongside my work with children, I also run a page dedicated to supporting reverts with Islam and life challenges. Helping others is a passion of mine, and my dream is to build this into a business that provides meaningful resources to guide them on their journey.

I would describe myself as nurturing, compassionate, and a strong team player. I am always eager to learn, grow, and take inspiration from those around me, while contributing positively wherever I can.
