DESIGNATED SAFEGUARDING LEAD
MOTTO:

“Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me and I might remember. Involve me and I will learn.”

Growing up in Morocco and Tunisia and attending an American International school, I appreciate the values of Swiss International Scientific School and the wonderful opportunities the IB school ethos affords all members of our school community.  

After obtaining my first Degree in Psychology from London and a Masters’ Degree in Counseling Psychology in Vienna, I relocated to the UAE to work in schools. With eight years of experience at Swiss International Scientific Dubai, I am delighted to take on the role of Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), supporting all aspects of care and support for our day and boarding students. Leading a team of highly committed staff is fulfilling, supported hugely by our parent body and entire community working tirelessly to support Bilingualism, Excellence, Sustainability and Togetherness in all we do is a privilege.
