I had been a faculty member in the Department of Languages and Linguistics at UTEP for eleven years. Recently, I transitioned to Wome's and Gender Studies as an Associate professor of Practice. Besides, I am still overseeing the Arabic program as the coordinator. I am always looking for resources and opportunities to enhance my teaching skills. I engage myself with current research findings on higher education teaching. I attend workshops and conferences locally and nationally.
