Middle School

My name is Amnah Saeed. I have been teaching Science at ILM Academy for the past four years, and I couldn't be more excited to continue this learning journey with middle school students.

I was born and raised in Dubai, UAE. I made Atlanta my home in 2010. My curiosity led me to dive into the intricacies of the human brain, and I ended up with a Bachelor's in Neuroscience from Georgia State University. Working in a Neuroscience Lab was a fascinating experience where I explored how specific brain areas impact cognition and memory, especially related to eating behaviors. My academic background led me to the field of education. I'm passionate about teaching. I thrive in creating an environment where my students feel they genuinely belong and find their curiosity to explore their full potential.

Outside of school, my family and I are nature enthusiasts. We love spending time outdoors, hiking, and enjoying the beauty of the natural world. I am also a people person and enjoy meeting new folks, having interesting conversations, and building genuine connections, especially with my students and colleagues.

My name is Amana Malik. I am a 5th Grade homeroom teacher. I have been with ILM for five years; this is my fourth year in my current position. I received my bachelor's in biology and psychology 2010 from the University of Colorado at Boulder. I have lived in Atlanta with my family for the last ten years. I am an avid reader and hope to instill a love of reading in all my students.
