Ms. Abodouma began her educational career after earning a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration. She initially taught elementary Mathematics at an international school in Cairo, Egypt. After a few years, blending her passion for travel with her professional ambitions, she then moved to Frankfurt, Germany, where she continued teaching Mathematics to higher grades while exploring Europe. In 2007, Ms. Abodouma returned to Egypt to work with students with special educational needs while joining a non-profit initiative to teach basic English and computer skills to underprivileged children in Cairo.

Committed to community service while advancing her career, Ms. Abodouma rejoined her former school as Director of Student Life. There, she developed a student-led, peer-to-peer program aimed at eradicating illiteracy among houseless children in Cairo.

In 2015, Ms. Abodouma and her family moved to the United States. She joined BASIS Independent Silicon Valley as a Subject Expert Teacher in Business, Economics, and Mathematics and was selected as a teacher mentor on the program’s inaugural team.

When BASIS Independent Fremont expanded into a Middle School Program and acquired a new campus, Ms. Abodouma joined as a founding member of the upper school, continuing her role as a Subject Expert Teacher and mentor. In 2022, she became the Associate Head of School, supporting students, families, and staff across both campuses with her extensive knowledge of the BASIS Curriculum, experience as a teacher trainer, and passion for enriching student experiences.

Recently appointed Head of School of the Upper School, Ms. Abodouma’s vision remains centered on academic excellence and student life.

“BASIS Independent Schools are the perfect fit for me,” shared Ms. Abodouma, “With a rigorous and highly academic structure, a focus on student well-being, and a system that supports teacher autonomy and encourages innovative teaching methodologies.”

Outside of school, you can find Ms. Abodouma hiking with her family, traveling to new countries, swimming in the Mediterranean, advocating for social justice, enjoying a movie, or reading a book. Interestingly, in the early years of her career, Ms. Abodouma almost pursued a professional career in acting in film and theater alongside education. However, when faced with choosing between the two, she said, “That was a simple choice for me; I chose education.”

In 2014, Mr. Acevedo received his Bachelor of Arts in English Education from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and a Master’s Degree in Theatrical Direction from Roosevelt University in Chicago.

“I am excited to be a part of the team here and to help my students foster a lifelong love of learning and become positive and curious members of their communities. I believe that education and learning allow us all to lead richer lives, and I am excited to help all of my students achieve their fullest potential (and have some fun doing it!).”

When Mr. Acevedo is not at school, he spends time reading manga, watching anime, playing his Switch, and exploring all the Bay Area has to offer. He also likes to listen to musicals, attend theatre performances, and discover stories through podcasts. Mr. Acevedo hopes he can share his love of theatre with his students as well as his love of English and history.
