Faculty and Staff

With over 19 years of experience in nursing education, I have served in esteemed academic institutions across the United Arab Emirates, India, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. My academic career reflects a sustained commitment to educational excellence, student-centred learning, and the integration of evidence-based, innovative teaching methodologies. My areas of specialization include curriculum design, quality officer at the college level and simulation-based education. I am proficient in utilizing e-learning technologies to enhance both theoretical knowledge and clinical competency among nursing students. Through my academic leadership roles, I have consistently promoted ethical practices, collaborative team dynamics, and the realization of institutional goals in alignment with the advancement of high-quality nursing education. I advocate for interdisciplinary collaboration and maintain a professional, inclusive approach in all academic engagements. My objective remains to foster dynamic learning environments that prepare students to meet the evolving demands of global healthcare systems.
