Mehnaz Karim

With a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Economics, and a Master’s degree in Global Development, Mehnaz brings a diverse academic background and a strong interest in learning, development, and the experiences that shape children’s early years. Her connection with education began at home, watching her mother dedicate more than 20 years to

teaching and shaping the lives of her students. Growing up around her work gave Mehnaz an early appreciation for the importance of a caring and supportive learning environment. After completing her education, she continued that journey through her own involvement in education, and over the past 10 years, her experience with students has developed into a genuine passion for their learning, confidence, and growth. As Director at Nurtured Steps, Mehnaz brings together her academic background, experience in

education and personal connection to the field to help shape an environment where children feel cared for, encouraged and inspired. She believes that the early years are a time of discovery, confidence-building, and developing a lifelong love for learning. Through Nurtured Steps, she hopes to create a place where children feel cared for, encouraged, and inspired from their earliest years.
