Services offered

My name is Dr. Rabia Shaheen, I hold a Ph.D. in Economics (International Trade) from Shanghai University, China, and an MBA in Project Management from Preston University, Pakistan. I bring with me solid experience in teaching, research, and academic service, along with peer-reviewed international publications.

My academic specialization lies in international trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), and economic growth, with particular emphasis on emerging and developing economies. My doctoral research employed panel data econometric techniques, including fixed and random effects models, interaction terms, and moderation analysis, using Stata and EViews. My research outcomes have been published in reputable international journals, including Financial Markets, Institutions and Risks.

I have served as a Lecturer in Business and Economics, where I taught undergraduate courses such as International Trade, Principles of Economics, Business Strategy, and Leadership. I am experienced in course design, assessment preparation, student supervision, and outcome-based teaching approaches. I am committed to maintaining high teaching standards while fostering critical thinking, analytical skills, and student engagement.

I am particularly attracted to the UAE’s commitment to academic excellence, research development, and multicultural learning environments. I am confident that my international academic background, research orientation, and student-centered teaching philosophy would allow me to contribute effectively to your institution’s teaching, research output, and academic mission.
