She holds a Bachelor of Economics (Hons) from the International Islamic University of Malaysia, a Master of Economics from the University of Malaya, and a PhD in Accounting & Finance from the University of Glasgow. Her doctoral research delved into Islamic finance, integrating elements of the Islamic capital market, political economy, social theories, and sentiment analysis.
