About

With ten years of teaching experience, I am now excited to embark on a new career path in communications, having recently moved to Sydney from the UAE. My mission as an educator was to inspire, encourage, and foster meaningful connections with my students, and I’m eager to apply this passion in a communications role. I hold a BA in Liberal Arts, a postgraduate diploma in Education, a postgraduate certificate in International Relations and Affairs, and have recently completed my Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing. I’m excited to bring my creativity, problem-solving skills, and dedication to connecting with others to my new career in communications. I am eager to learn, grow, and contribute to the success of a dynamic team in this field.
