Hessah also helped teach technical skills in the converged media courses. I taught
at Zayed. She has a keen expertise in new media, and a good coaching manner.
When I took up at professor position at Massey University in New Zealand I
continued the professional relationship with Hessah and we regularly hold long-
distance discussions on research methodology and scripting. Hessah has the ability
to become a leading academic Emirati and I wish her the very best luck in her
career.

My last experience in working with Ms. AlFalahi was when she was my teaching
assistant for a semester. For this role, Ms. Al Falahi observed the teaching and
learning experience, helped with class management, worked with individual
students presentations and lectured about selected topics.
Ms. AlFalahi connected very well with students and provided astute advice that
enabled them products with an Emirati focus.
