Year of graduation 2009- Major: International Studies 

Zayed University has shaped my life and broaden my horizon. It was an eye opening experience where I learned how to be self-motivated and ready to be for opportunities. The best two skills I learned from Zayed University are research and presentation skills. The biggest challenge my English language as I wasn't really good at it and now I'm fluent to the extent that people think I learned my English in US or UK.

The best thing about Zayed University is the teachers. I enjoyed meet teachers from different background and nationalities. The second best thing is the big library where I was spending most of my time learning and searching for new information and stories.
