Over two decades of teaching and curriculum development experience, I specialize in English for Academic and Specific Purposes (EAP/ESP), Applied Linguistics, and designing inclusive, student-centered learning environments. My work supports multilingual learners through genre-based writing instruction, differentiated assessment, and educational technology integration in higher education. 

As a Ph.D. candidate in Technical Communication and Rhetoric at Texas Tech University, my research intersects with the rhetoric of digital public discourse, feminist rhetorical criticism, and the rhetoric of health and medicine—exploring how communication practices shape accessibility, identity, and inclusivity in both public and institutional spaces. 

In parallel, my practitioner scholarship focuses on inclusive pedagogical practices, intercultural communication, and classroom-based innovations to promote learner engagement and agency. I have presented at international platforms, including IATEFL, TESOL Arabia, and AdvanceHE, contributing to cross-context conversations on equity and access in language education.
