She is a regular speaker at educational conferences in Saudi Arabia and abroad, presenting on developing enquiry-based teaching practices and on aligning English and Arabic curricula and pedagogy.
Nada believes that excellent education should be accessible to all students, regardless of their needs, so they are able to be high-performance learners and reach their full academic and social potential. This can be done by personalising learning, empowering students to influence their paths, and taking responsibility for their education.
Intellectually rigorous, Nada holds a Bachelor of Islamic Studies from the College of Education and Humanities at Taibah University in Medina. She subsequently completed a Master of Science Postgraduate Degree in Education, Reading, and Language Arts through Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, USA.
