My name is Nahla Aboushadi.  I am lucky to call many places home: Egypt, San Diego, and Katy, Texas.  I am a scientist by training.  I have a B.Sc. in Chemistry/Biochemistry and a Ph.D. in Biology from the University of California, San Diego.  I have a certificate in Healthcare Management from the University of California, Los Angeles.

I am married and have 2 sons.  My older son is 22 years old and a graduate of Texas A&M and my younger son is 20 years old and attends the University of Houston.

I am a self-contained Third Grade teacher.  When I am not teaching, I enjoy running, traveling, reading, and practicing yoga.
