I began my university teaching career in 2021 at the College of Basic Education, University of Duhok, in the Department of Educational and Psychological Counseling. During this time, I have taught a range of core and specialized courses, most notably: Measurement and Evaluation, General Psychology, Educational Psychology, Psychological Problems, and Counseling Methods.
This experience has been a significant opportunity to develop my academic and pedagogical skills by working with students from diverse backgrounds and abilities. This led me to adopt modern teaching methods that focus on interaction and active participation while accounting for individual differences among learners. I have also been keen to employ educational strategies that bridge the gap between theory and practice through scientific discussions, case study analysis, and classroom activities that contribute to deepening understanding and developing critical thinking.
Throughout my years of teaching, which continue to the present, I have strived to provide a supportive learning environment that helps build the student's scientific and professional character, enhancing their ability to apply psychological and educational knowledge in practical situations.

Since 2021, I have served as the Coordinator for the Department of Educational and Psychological Counseling at the College of Basic Education, University of Duhok—a position that combines academic and administrative responsibilities. This role involves overseeing academic programs, organizing curricula, and monitoring the scholarly performance of faculty members to ensure the quality of educational outcomes in accordance with accredited standards.
In this capacity, I am dedicated to updating curricula to meet student needs and labor market demands, fostering a culture of scientific research, and engaging with educational and community institutions to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Research

My research interests center on educational measurement and evaluation and psychology, with a particular focus on developing psychometric and educational assessment tools and studying their psychometric properties. A core pillar of my research involves utilizing these tools to diagnose and interpret educational and psychological phenomena.

My interests also extend to topics such as mental health, learning motivation, psychosocial adjustment, and factors influencing academic achievement, all through the application of modern statistical methods in data analysis. Through this research, I strive to provide actionable findings that contribute to the development of educational and counseling practices and serve the community.

Since 2021, I have supervised the graduation projects of fourth-year students in the Department of Educational and Psychological Counseling at the College of Basic Education, University of Duhok. These projects focus on the fields of educational measurement and evaluation, as well as general psychology, aligning with my research interests and supporting the department's academic goals.
Through this supervision, I aim to empower students to utilize appropriate research methodologies, select suitable measurement tools, and analyze data using sound statistical methods. This enhances their research skills and prepares them for graduate studies or professional practice within the educational field.
