PROFESSIONAL BIO
Senior Lecturer, Law/Legal & Islamic Finance Consultant.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]
I am an Oxford University graduate of Lincoln College with a Doctor of Philosophy (D.Phil.) in Law, a Master of Studies (M.St.) in Legal Research and a Bachelor of Civil Law (B.C.L). I trained as a solicitor at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in London, UK.
I am passionate about education and I understand education to be much more than communicating or absorbing subject-specific information. To me, education involves nurturing the entire being of those involved, both teacher and taught. I am an experienced Lecturer of Law with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education industry. I am skilled in Legal Research, Islamic Finance, Communication Skills for Lawyers and Contract Law.

ABOUT ME
A Human Being first before anything. A child of God. A brother and sister to the rest of humanity. I am a believer in the absolute necessity of Empowering Human Beings to be self-loving, self-supporting people for it is only such people who can, and perhaps will, sincerely give to other people. Empowering women is a fundamental part of empowering human beings, by which I do not mean, make or treat women like men. We are equal but we are not similar. The empowerment of women includes, but is not limited to, validating women for who and how they are, and giving them due regard regardless of whether they fit into either our increasingly capitalistic straight jacket boys’ club of a world or the home-making, child-bearing role otherwise associated with women.
