As-salāmu ʿalaykum! I’m Fatimah, otherwise known as Nima — a mum and passionate student of the deen.

My journey into Islamic studies began way back in elementary school, and I’ve gratefully continued this path into adulthood — most recently through an inspiring online Islamic college based in sunny Sydney, Australia. I’m currently polishing my Arabic with native-speaking teachers, and in shā Allāh, I hope to gradually bring this into our learning at Salam Sprouts!

After high school, I jumped straight into early childhood education, where I had the privilege of working with children from all walks of life — from little ones as young as 18 months to energetic 12-year-olds for over six years.

Later, I pursued my lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian and dove into my Animal Science studies in the beautiful landscapes of South Australia. During the pandemic in 2020, I had the incredible opportunity to volunteer at a wildlife hospital in Western Australia — an experience that deeply enriched my love for nurturing and strengthened my appreciation for caring for all of Allah’s creation.
