My Journey
I was born in Canada, raised in Sydney, and come from a multicultural heritage that includes Egyptian, Italian, and Turkish roots. This background has given me a deep appreciation for diversity, individuality, and the richness of different life experiences.
I completed my Bachelor of Arts at the University of Sydney in 1994, majoring in Islamic Studies, Government, and Economics. From early on, I was drawn to psychology, human behaviour, and helping people navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and hope.
In 1996, I completed my Graduate Diploma in Education at the University of Western Sydney and began teaching in schools. Over time, my interest in personal growth and emotional wellbeing deepened, leading me to study Neuro-Linguistic Programming and later complete a Master of Applied Positive Psychology in 2021. I also completed a Master of Islamic Studies in 2019 to deepen my understanding of faith, purpose, and spiritual development.
My learning journey has shaped both my professional path and my personal mission: to support people in building self-awareness, emotional strength, and a more meaningful life.
What I Do
For more than 20 years, I have worked at management level and in educational settings, offering personal development training (workshops and courses) for adults and youth in Australia. My areas of focus have included:
- Communication skills
- Relationship skills
- Personal change skills
- Performance skills
- Personal management skills
- Personal leadership skills
- Emotional wellbeing
- Spiritual and values-based development
Faith and Values
Spirituality and values has played a central role in my life since I embraced the faith at age 20. It has taught me the importance of compassion, reflection, service, gratitude, and seeing the good in others. My work is deeply influenced by spiritual and holistic values, along with a commitment to respect, integrity, and lifelong learning.
My Approach
My approach combines Positive Psychology, education and holistic insight to help people strengthen their wellbeing from the inside out. I believe that growth is most sustainable when it is grounded in self-awareness, values, and consistent practice.
I support people who want to:
- Build resilience and emotional balance
- Strengthen self-confidence and self-trust
- Improve communication and relationships
- Develop personal leadership
- Align their mindset, values, and actions
- Grow with purpose, clarity, and inner peace
