My name is Rashda Mady, and I'm the mother of two awesome sons. My older is studying at Texas A&M University and my youngest is an 8th grader. My furry friend is a cat and her name is Charlotte. In my free time I enjoy oil-painting, cooking, and walking outdoors. Although I have traveled a lot internationally to very interesting countries around the world such as: England, Holland, UAE, Malaysia. I'd love to explore more places here at home such as New York and other fabulous places! I obtained a Master's degree in education from Sam Houston State University and a Master's degree in applied linguistics and TESOL from the University of Alexandria. My professional career started more than 23 years ago. I have worked as an ESL adjunct professor at Lone Star College, Sam Houston State University, and Rice University. As for my international experience, I have worked as an EFL instructor and a certified examiner at the British Council and the English Teaching Program at AMIDEAST, Egypt. I held the position of ESP instructor and coordinator at the University of Alexandria. I'm CELTA certified and have been awarded a distinction for excellence from the British Council. I have tremendously enjoyed working with every student, parent, and colleague throughout my career in education, and my ultimate goal is to make a difference in people's lives.
