I am a professional with 14 years of soft skills experience in monitoring and evaluation functionality, project management, online data collection, research, and focus group moderating. I have been a team leader to 40 enumerators from different environments and cultures, conducted more than 25,000 interviewers by using Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) and KAPI systems in all of  Yemen’s government consisting of people with different backgrounds and cultures.  Presently, I am working as a Programme Associate at UNWFP.

I am a happily married man and have two sons and two daughters. I live with my wife and children in our house in Sana'a City.

My interests are reading and working on books. In addition, I also love to learn new skills. I am currently interested in exploring the field of Business Administration.
 

I was looking for a good university with a flexible education system where I could obtain a Master’s degree. Furthermore, I wanted to enhance my skills, broaden my knowledge, and grow more in what I do. Hence, I enrolled in this program.

The courses have been more than just expectations. I am glad to get admitted to UniAthena. I will also be one of your alumni who is fully prepared to go and face the world.

I will, of course, go to the field to ensure that I put into practice what I have acquired at UniAthena. It is said ‘knowledge acquired is best practised when applied’.

Basically, you can say that I enjoy being outside with my family when I am not working.  My kids are still small, and once I come back from work, I do not want to say that I do not enjoy my time with them–quite the contrary, it’s great. But it’s not really leisure time. Anyway, that’s life, I enjoy my role as a father, and so far, I have managed to do a good job both as an employee and a family man. I hope to continue in the same vein during my current study.

• If I could have my everyday clothes and shoes on, I would first and foremost take an endless supply of drinking water because it is essential for survival.
• The second item that I will take along with me will be a fire starter kit, a magnifying glass, or a mirror to start a fire to make me feel warm and be able to cook.
• The third item that I will take along would be a Swiss army knife to prepare food, protect myself, and build a shelter.

Overall, I adopt the following approach when faced with a problem:

• Identify the issues/problems.
• Understand everyone's interests “active listening to each other with the intention to understand.
• List the possible solutions, that is, “brainstorming”.
• Evaluate the options and select the best.
• Agree on contingencies, monitoring, and evaluation.

Nothing, because I love myself and accept who I am, and I don't need anyone's negative vibes around me.

When I was a child, I was fascinated with flying a plane. I used to admire pilots so much that I wanted to be a pilot.

The last book I read was "Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life"  by Spencer Johnson.

I admire my father most. He is the key person in our family who holds it together. 

He is the hero in my life. My father is truly an admirable person with outstanding qualities.
