lecturer applied media, 2019-2022

Following up on my previous teaching experiences, my journey took me to the Higher Colleges of Technology in Dubai, UAE. At this institution, I had the privilege of guiding young Emirati talents through the intricacies of applied media production.

I delivered courses encompassing a wide spectrum of vital media production skills. From fundamental video production skills to crafting compelling narratives in short fiction and documentaries. Multicam techniques, scriptwriting and analysis, media literacy, and the art of interviewing and presenting were all integral parts of the curriculum.

My role extended beyond the classroom. As a system course team lead, I crafted assessment strategies, ensuring fairness and excellence in evaluation through robust moderation processes. Moreover, navigating the ever-evolving landscape of online and hybrid course environments was a challenge I embraced wholeheartedly, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Beyond academic duties, I also served as a student advisor, offering guidance and support to my students every step of the way. Establishing and nurturing industry connections was not just a task but a mission to bridge academia with the professional world. As a mentor of both the extracurricular media club and student internships, I witnessed firsthand the development of raw potential into seasoned expertise.

In my role at the Higher Colleges of Technology, I endeavored to weave a tapestry of narrative, excellence, innovation, and empowerment for each aspiring Emirati media professional who walked through our doors.
