As the Project Lead for Pamir Private School in Sharjah, I spearheaded the school’s establishment from the ground up—securing land, managing construction, and ensuring operational readiness—all within an ambitious 10-month timeline.
Following the successful completion of the project, my leadership was recognized with my appointment as the youngest school principal by the Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA), where I navigated the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic while maintaining enrollment and academic excellence.
