Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

I’m honored to be part of the Al-Azhar Islamic Academy family as the TK/Kindergarten teacher.
With a degree in Child Development and over 12 years of experience, I’m passionate about creating
a safe, joyful, and nurturing classroom where every child feels valued and inspired to learn.

My background includes both center-based teaching and in-home childcare, allowing me to develop
engaging and supportive environments for young learners. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, AED,
and have completed training in Preventive Health & Nutrition. I am also a certified Mandated Reporter.

I look forward to working closely with families to support our students’ growth, Insha’Allah.
