Our Board

I am a founding board member and have been on the board since Tarbiyah’s inception in 2011. My sons are either currently at the school, or have graduated and moved on to high school. I am a radiologist in Baltimore, Maryland and am affiliated with Ascension St. Agnes Hospital. I received my medical degree from Aga Khan Medical College and have been in practice for more than 20 years.

I am a founding board member and treasurer at Tarbiyah Academy and have been on the board since Tarbiyah's inception in 2011. All three of my kids are either currently at the school, or have graduated and moved on to high school. I am an engineer by training but have opted for a career in education, teaching mathematics at Howard Community College. What I love about Tarbiyah Academy is its emphasis on holistic teaching and its focuses on the child as a whole and not just the academics.

I have been a TA parent since 2018 and I joined the board in 2023. As a board member, I focus on helping the board and admin with all communication initiatives. Professionally, I am a lecturer at University of Maryland, teaching various communication courses. I have two daughters, one in MYP and one in PYP mashAllah! I have always been very involved in the TA community, from holding communication lessons for students, to volunteering through the FTA. This school and community means a lot to me and my family and we pray for its continued success, Ameen.

Joined summer of 2023, with responsibilities including working on long-term Board projects and fundraising. I have three kids at TA Alhamdulillah, and have been a parent since 2020. I am a patent attorney with an engineering background. My legal background helps me frame certain issues for the Board. The TA community is special - the parents, staff, and leadership are like a big family working together to provide a beautiful environment for our children based on our faith values.
