Biography

Fatma has always been passionate about teaching and learning, and continues to expand her knowledge and skills. She believes that education is one of the most valuable gifts we can bestow upon others and ourselves. Fatma see’s her role as an educator as a perpetual gift of giving, contributing and sharing knowledge through learning experiences and empowering her students.

She has had the privilege to teach across different sectors including primary, early childhood, intermediate and adult learning. She believes that this has placed her as a custodian of the gifts of learning throughout her career.

Of greatest importance to Fatma, apart from education and sharing knowledge, is the relationships she shares with her students. This is achieved through genuine understanding, trust, empathy, kindness and boundless enthusiasm for the wonder to be found through discovering our world and one another.

Why I love MIT

MIT has had a very special place in my life. I have had the opportunity to experience MIT as a student a long time ago, and have had close family members graduate from MIT as well. Now, I have the privilege of experiencing the MIT life as an educator.

MIT's rich cultural diversity as an organisation and educational institute, is what resonates with the me the most. The values and commitment to provide high quality, convenient and accessible facilities throughout the campus in order to ensure students thrive and succeed, is highly recognised and reputable for many.
