With over a decade of experience that encompasses education technology, innovation ecosystems, and social impact initiatives, Sabah has emerged as a formidable force in her field. At Coursera, she spearheaded the launch of innovative online offerings with prestigious institutions like Stanford University, the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and Rice University.

As a lifelong learner, Sabah is currently pursuing her MBA at the University of Kansas School of Business and boasts multiple certifications in AI and emerging technologies. Her dedication to education and growth is matched only by her passion for lifting others. “The best advice I’ve received is to stay curious, remain humble, and never stop learning,” she shares. “Growth begins where comfort ends, and the willingness to keep evolving is what keeps you relevant and impactful.”
Sabah emphasizes the importance of curiosity, generosity, and humility, traits she believes have been instrumental in her journey. Viewing America as a land of opportunity, Sabah believes it provides the tools and resources necessary to achieve educational and professional success.

Her advice to young women entering her field is clear: “Confidently pursue your dreams, even when the path feels uncertain. Build genuine relationships, approach every interaction with positivity, and remember that success is multiplied when you lift others as you climb.”
