Following a 20 year career in corporate banking, Rim, a Lebanese mother of two, discovered her love for teaching as she was helping her children with their online schooling during the pandemic. That, followed by her family’s move to France in 2021, she saw how important learning Arabic was in shaping their sense of identity. Coming from a family that treasures their mother tongue, she has since decided to follow her passion and shift her focus to teaching Arabic and joined the Kalamna team in Paris in 2023.

Rim holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and an MBA from the American University of Beirut.
