I joined Universal American School as Registrar in 2019. However, I have been privileged to be a proud member of the UAS community since 2009 where I served as a VP for Parent Teacher Organization for two years. My children joined Universal American School in 2009 in KG1 and attend to this day.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and have been working for multiple international entities like United Nations, Diplomatic Missions, and American NGOs- CARE, Mercy Corps International under the umbrella of United States Agency for International Development. One of the programs I worked for focused on young adolescents from internally displaced populations and refugees. The programs helped to provide them with the necessary schooling, job training, and skills required for the integration into society. We created safe spaces for learning that served as a refuge from difficult and dangerous circumstances.
I am thrilled to be part of UAS Administration team where I witness our incredibly talented students come in every day with the most unique, innovative ideas, determination to succeed, and excel with the true community spirit of integrity and academic excellence.
I have been living in Dubai since 2005 with my husband and two kids.
