However, for this very first post, I will tell you a little about myself. My name is Mohammed Nour and I was born in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. My parents are actually of Ethiopian origin, but I grew up pretty much my entire life in the United States (between New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Idaho states).
I have a degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh, and used to work as a Software Developer for Hewlett Packard Company (HP). I got into teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) a couple years back when I was studying Arabic in Egypt. I enjoyed my experience, so I decided to take it up as a profession.
Upon completion of my TESOL certification course, I got my first full time job last year with Jubail Industrial College in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. This year however, I am at King Saud University in the capital city of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. I actually just arrived so I don't have much to report yet about my experience, but so far so good.
I guess that’s me in a nutshell. If there’s anything else in particular you want to know, please leave a comment and I’ll be sure to get back to you. Thanks!
Here's a photo diary highlighting some of the most important places me:
