I completed my studies at the North-West University in Potchefstroom, where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Languages,
an Honors Degree, a Master's Degree, and a Higher Education Diploma.
While studying at NWU, I began my teaching career and later taught at the University of Namibia (UNAM) for a few years. Subsequently, I joined DHPS - Deutsche H?here Privatschule Windhoek before becoming a part of NIS in 2003. Initially, I served as a Middle School English and Humanities teacher at NIS, and later transitioned to the Elementary School as a teacher. I then took on leadership roles within the KG ES Leadership Team, serving as a coordinator, Assistant Principal, and finally Principal. This year, I have joined the Senior Management Team (SMT) as the Learning & Achievement Leader for the entire school.
Throughout my 20 years at Naseem International School, I have witnessed remarkable changes and growth, not only in the physical infrastructure but also in our approaches and methodologies. This continuous evolution fills me with immense pride. I firmly believe that through our ongoing self-reflection, accreditations, and authorizations, we will sustain this trajectory of progress and development for future generations of NIS. It is truly gratifying to see former students now enrolling their own children at our school.
With the newly established position of Learning & Achievement Leader, I hope that our school community will collaborate effectively to enhance student attainment and well-being. Together, we can provide high-quality learning experiences that effectively prepare our students for their future lives.
