I am a teacher with 9 years’ experience teaching Arabic and Islamic studies. I have highly developed skills in classroom management and in using innovative teaching methods, monitoring students’ progress, preparing schemes of work to incorporate developments and teaching guidance, I coordinate and lead developments across a wide range of different subject areas. I regularly seek new challenges and volunteer for new job roles.

11+ years of work experience, including 2 years as school counsellor and psychologist.

I graduated as a Master in Psychology in 2011 and started my professional career within international companies, where I was managing and supporting employees using my general and cross-cultural psychological skills.

After gaining experience in an international environment, I decided to follow my passion and started a work as a psychologist at a Primary and High School in Warsaw, Poland. In my daily work I combine my experience with knowledge about psychology and children's education.

I graduated from The Hotel Institute Montreux (HIM), Switzerland in Hospitality & Business Management and returned to Qatar where my parents lived and worked. To find a work-life balance, I focused mainly on Business Management and decided to take up Administration and HR on a full-time basis. I completed a training course in HRM and a few others in Administration. Over these years, I’ve enjoyed being in a supportive role that gave me the opportunity to work in different industries and engage with a lot of people thus helping me constantly develop my skills.
