I am a lecturer in Drama at Jazan University in Saudi Arabia. I was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship to pursue my doctoral studies, which has allowed me to dedicate myself fully to my research at Loughborough while maintaining my connection with Jazan University.

My PhD differs significantly from previous studies in its depth and demands, requiring greater self-motivation, enhanced skills of time management, and a higher level of commitment to producing original research. But I am finding the challenges incredibly rewarding. The intellectual stimulation and satisfaction of contributing new knowledge are unparalleled, making it a truly transformative experience for me.
