Education:

I joined the Faculty of Commerce at Cairo University.  While I was in my first semester in the accounting major I was gratified by the computer sciences major. So I started studying, on a part time bases, a porfessional certificate in computing and programming at The American University in Cairo (AUC). I earned this cerficiate and Advanced one in 1999. Then I earned Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from Cairo University in 2004.

In 2005 I joined the Masters degree program in Journalism and Mass Communication at AUC, and graduated in May 2008. My main objective in the masters was to study and research the best ways to integrate online technologies with traditional media. My thesis was focused on evaluating the application of media convergence through the utilization of the telecommunications infrastructure and ICT facilities in Egypt. I also tended to investigate the broad conceptual points surrounding the integration of digital media and visual communications in terms of interoperability, obstacles and potentials.

Teaching & Training:

My teaching experience covers 8+ years of lecturing in Higher Education. I am bilingual, which allows me to teach in different educational systems including the American, Arabic and British systems. I considers teaching as an opportunity to inspire and improve my students. As a teacher, it is my goal to enhance students’ lcreativity through transforming knowledge and experience. Ultimately, I want my students to be challenged and motivated by being interested and involved in the topic at hand.

In 2005 he started to teach my technical courses when I was hired as a part-time faculty in the Faculty of Mass Communication of The Modern Sciences and Arts University (MSA is a British Higher Educational System).

My responsibilities were not limited to teaching Digital Art courses; I also participated in the development of the new Digital Art Minor, and complied the syllabi and teaching materials of Graphic Design and Web Design courses that I taught in the PVA.
