Biography
In early 2004, I received a BSc in Speech Therapy and Audiology from King Saud University (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), department of Rehabilitation Sciences after a year of internship. Then I worked in the private sector as an Audiologist for a few months; and then, in July 2004, joined the faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences at the same university I graduated from.
After working for three years, I was fortunate to be awarded a scholarship that then led me to Sheffield.
The Human Communication Sciences department at the University of Sheffield had enabled me to learn and practice research that led to graduation with a MSc in Human Communication Sciences in 2009.
I am currently a PhD student at the same Department.
Research Interest:
