(Diploma Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector, 2012)
I have published up to 10 books for different genres including my latest book, which is a memoir about my experiences following a road traffic accident at the age of 6 that broke off a large portion of my skull. It discusses various issues including recovery, mental health, physiotherapy, neurology and more. You can read some sample pages from here:

I completed my Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector as part of my Teacher Training at the University of Warwick in December 2012. It was a an enjoyable course and soon after, I started a new position as an English Teacher in Saudi Arabia and have taught all over the country since then. I now teach undergraduates essay writing and presentation skills at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, which is one of the top universities in the country located near Bahrain.
