Whether I am teaching students or family and friends, I love to have deep and meaningful discussions about our world and connecting it to Islam.

My mission is to cultivate a school community that creates opportunities for growth through professional development, thereby creating a learning environment which will help students to become lifelong learners through instilling a love of exploration and discovery in them.

Our career paths are as unique as our fingerprints. Believing in what is right, being able to love what is being accomplished, and having a strong belief of the structure in which is being built, are key components to succeed.

However, I do find injustice intolerable and tend to speak up as needed.
Overall, I try to live by the following philosophies: one should always set high standards so even if he falls, he will still fall high enough for success, and teaching in itself is eclectic; among the most effective teachers are those who accept that all teachers will always be students, students of teaching, as it is the only way of becoming, and continuing to be, “experts” in the field.
I love children and could not think of a better professional in which to develop the next generation of Muslims.

Like players starting a new game, children are learning about themselves and their environment. Sometimes they may get stuck on a particularly difficult obstacle and not know what to do or where to go from there. For these moments, games always provide reference material so that they can figure out how to solve whatever problems come their way. Students are free to explore who they are and what they like, but for those moments when life gets confusing or difficult to manage on their own, they can always refer to their school counselor to work through their difficulties.
I am here to help students navigate through the adventure that is their life. Whether they are struggling socially, emotionally, academically, or just need someone to understand what they are going through, I am here for them.
