Academic Advisor @ مركز خدمات الابتعاث

About

As an academic advisor at مركز خدمات الابتعاث, I help Saudi students pursue their higher education goals abroad. I have a master's degree in speech-language pathology from the University of Jordan, and over six years of experience in the cultural and educational sector. In my previous role as an assistant manager at the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission, I supervised and supported the academic affairs of Saudi students in Jordan, and facilitated their communication and integration with the host institutions and community. I have strong skills in academic advising, cross-cultural communication, student development, and scholarship management. I am passionate about empowering students to achieve their academic and personal potential, and fostering cultural exchange and understanding.
