Meet the Team

Joined Oryx in 2019

I have been in education for over 30 years and a Senior Leader for 25 of those years. Having graduated from Exeter University with a BA ( Hons) Degree in History & Geography, I undertook a Post Graduate Certificate in Primary Education and following this, a professional qualification in Headship. I am ILM Level 7 trained as an Executive coach.

As a Primary Headteacher, I led four very different and unique schools in England one of which was a start up school. In 2019, I joined Oryx International as the Vice Principal.

My role has changed over my tenure at Oryx and I am now currently overseeing and supporting the leadership teams, staff and students in both the Primary and Secondary schools.

In my spare time I like to spend time with my family, enjoying all that Doha has to offer.

Born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon, I pursued my passion for education and finance by obtaining a degree in accounting. I furthered my knowledge with an MBA in management from Beirut Arab University, and I am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) since 2022. My entire professional journey has been dedicated to the educational sector.

My career began at the university where I graduated, where I served as a senior budget analyst. In this role, I managed the financial aspects of a university with a student population exceeding 10,000, spread across three different branches in Lebanon. Additionally, I shared my expertise by teaching accounting and finance as a part-time instructor at various universities in Lebanon.

I then transitioned to the vibrant educational landscape of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where I managed two different international schools. In one of these institutions (Jeddah Private International School), I played a pivotal role as the Head of Business Development and Shared Services, contributing significantly to its growth and development.

Motivated by my passion for education and my extensive experience in the field, I joined Oryx International School. Here, my aim is to merge my diverse background to contribute to the school's continued success, striving to uphold Oryx International School's reputation as a top-tier, 5-star educational institution in the region.
