As a proud TAISM graduate from the Class of 2017, this school has always held a special place in my heart, and I am incredibly grateful to be back and contribute to the community that shaped me.
After graduating from TAISM, I pursued my passion for education in Boston, where I earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Simmons University. I then went on to complete a Master of Arts in Teaching- Elementary Education, followed by another master’s in Education Leadership and Policy from Boston University. During my time in Boston, I gained valuable teaching experience in various schools and educational settings, broadening my perspective and deepening my love for early childhood education.
As an Omani, I am honored to bring my knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm back to both Oman and to TAISM as a Pre-K 3 Teacher. It feels like a full-circle moment to return as an educator to the very place that inspired my own academic and personal growth. I am grateful for the opportunity to create a warm and nurturing learning environment for my students and give back to the community that played such a vital role in my journey.
Each day, I look forward to building meaningful connections with my students, fostering their curiosity and love for learning. Returning to TAISM gives me the opportunity to grow and learn alongside my students and fellow educators. I am honored to be part of this journey. TAISM will always be home, and I am so grateful to be back!
