Summary
I am a highly motivated and dedicated educator with a Master’s degree in Pharmaceutical Science with Management and over six years of diverse teaching and leadership experience. Currently, I teach science at Compass International School, with a primary focus on Ks4 and Ks5 Students.
Previously, as Head of Year at Aljazeera Academy, I played a key role in supporting student well-being and monitoring academic progress. My experience as Head of Chemistry in the UK strengthened my skills in curriculum development and inspiring students in the field of chemistry.
