Throughout my academic career, I have taught undergraduate and postgraduate nursing courses across BSN, RN-BSN, MSN, and postgraduate diploma programs in the UAE, Egypt, and Nigeria.

My research interests focus on community health, nursing education, health promotion, women’s health, infectious diseases, mental health, genomic literacy, artificial intelligence in healthcare, and student wellbeing. I have published extensively in international peer-reviewed journals and supervised master’s and doctoral theses as well as undergraduate research projects in Egypt and the UAE.
