My name is Fateen Abdel-baaith, and I will be serving as the Curriculum Specialist/Elementary School Counselor for the 2023-2024 school year. I believe working with children is not a profession but rather a PASSION and one of the most rewarding careers.

I earned both my Master’s Degree and Education Specialist Degree in school psychology and have over 14 years of diverse experience in counseling, evaluating, and educating children of all ages from different cultural backgrounds. I am increasingly interested in positive psychology and always seeking new ways to expand my knowledge through reading and research. Please wish me good luck as I pursue my doctorate in International Psychology this Fall.

“I live to travel,” is my mantra. I consider myself to be a world explorer, traveling to over 30 countries and have learned the importance of appreciating each unique culture. In addition to my fondness for travel, I greatly enjoy reading, assembling puzzles, rollerblading, hiking, and most outdoor activities. I even tried out for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Track & Field. I am excited to be a part of the AISM International community of teachers and leaders and quite eager to meet all students and their families. It warms my heart to know that I will continue to impact someone's life in a meaningful way and like Maya Angelou once wrote, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

My name is Amal Iskandarani. I am from Northern Lebanon. I relocated to Liberia since September 2022. I hold a Bachelor’s degree and a Teaching Diploma in Special
