Dr Sleem Khalfan Al Habsi
 
Prior to joining higher education – National University of Science & Technology (NU), I worked for the Ministry of Education as a teacher, and then as Regional English supervisor for 7 years. I joined NU – Caledonian College – in 2011 as Head of Language Department, and then after the merger under the NU, I worked as Head for the Foundation Program, and currently at the capacity of Director of School of Foundation. Upon the announcement of OAAA to recruitment of external reviewers, I applied and went through the required training. I was honored to be in the OAAA register, and selected to be an external reviewer, and then as Co-Review Director. The interest to work for the OAAA continues, and keeps adding up to my professional career.
