Karima El Haiba, originally from Safi, Morocco, earned her B.A. in English studies (linguistics major) from the University of Chouaib Doukkali in El Jadida in June 2017. She started her teaching career in 2019 after completing a six-month training program at the CRMEF in Tangier. She currently teaches at Abd Allah Ibrahim High School in Tetouan.
Karima is deeply passionate about literature, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, history and culture. She is overjoyed to serve as a cultural bridge and looks forward to fostering genuine understanding between Moroccans and Americans. She is likewise eager to provide her U.S. students with authentic opportunities to showcase their Arabic skills. After her Fulbright year, Karima plans to pursue her graduate studies.
