8 years' experience

I started my teaching career in the United Kingdom teaching all three science disciplines at a school in Sheffield. After moving to Doha in 2018, I started to specialise in physics and took on the role of Head of 6th Form whilst completing my master’s degree in educational leadership and writing a dissertation on the effectiveness of restorative behaviour policies in different socio-economic environments. I joined USI as its founding Head of Science before moving to the pastoral role in 2024. I am passionate about establishing a safe, warm, welcoming environment for all students at USI, empowering them to flourish both inside and outside the classroom by being supportive of high expectations.
