I have 19 years of teaching experience and have been teaching since I graduated in 2005. I began my career as a Demonstrator at the University of Duhok, where I taught and assisted in laboratory classes. In 2010–2011, I worked as an Assistant Lecturer, teaching practical microbiology courses. Over the years, I continued teaching as I advanced to higher academic positions. Since 2017, I have been teaching both theoretical and practical Microbiology courses to third-year veterinary students at the University of Duhok. I supervise undergraduate, MSc, and PhD students and support them throughout their research projects. I have also contributed to higher education through teaching roles at the American University of Kurdistan and the Amedi Technical Institute, where I provided essential foundational knowledge to technical and medical students. My long teaching journey reflects my strong dedication to supporting students and helping them succeed.
