Educational Background

I hold a Master’s degree in Fine Art from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, where I specialized in exploring the intersection of history, landscape, and abstract narratives. During my academic journey, I also gained experience as a sessional teacher, facilitating second-year sculpture modules that included clay portrait modeling, plaster molds, and silicone casting. This role involved hands-on teaching, coordinating field trips, and guiding students through complex creative processes.



Currently, I am an art teacher at an international school in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where I teach visual arts across multiple grade levels. I have restructured and rewritten curricula, designed accompanying student booklets, and developed engaging lesson plans to suit diverse learning needs. My teaching emphasizes fostering creativity and confidence, particularly for students who are new to art or exploring it as a potential career path.



I have also curated exhibitions, facilitated fine art workshops, and participated in both group and solo exhibitions, allowing me to bridge practical artistic skills with an educational approach. My passion lies in creating inclusive and inspiring environments where students and participants can discover their creative potential while engaging with broader cultural and environmental themes.
