Executive Director (2024-Present)

🇪🇬 IB in Egypt, University of London

Hi! I’m Nour. I graduated from the IB in Egypt in 2022 and am currently a third-year LLB student at the University of London.

I’ve been interested in education for the longest time and having lived in multiple countries throughout my secondary education, I’ve seen how both similar and different the student experience can be. Especially in the IB, students can have the same strives and struggles but also be differentiated by their circumstances and resources. As such I am proud to work alongside my co-exec Sara (and previously Leila), and all members at IBlieve, to provide ALL IB students with helpful resources, beneficial content, and a supportive community!

Executive Director (2025-Present)

🇨🇭 IB in Switzerland, University of Amsterdam 🇳🇱

Hi, I’m Sara! I finished the IB in Switzerland in May 2024. Then, I took a gap year before pursuing a bachelor’s in Communication Science at the University of Amsterdam!

I joined IBlieve during my gap year as I was looking to help out and get experience with an organization where I could truly make a difference. IBlieve was exactly that! From Communications Lead and Graduate Writer to Co-Executive alongside Nour, I directly got to create resources (newsletters, blogs, LinkedIn posts) for IB students globally. One thing I truly love about IBlieve is how it is full of passionate individuals scattered around the world, all working towards the same goal of helping out current IB students, as we once were!

Jassimrat Bhatia

Executive Director (2026-Present)

🇮🇳 IB in India

Hi, I’m Jassimrat! I’m currently in IB DP2 and will be graduating in 2027.

IBlieve has truly allowed me to grow, from being a Post Creator to Communications Lead, and now the Co-Executive Director alongside Nour & Sara. I’ve had the opportunity to create content such as social media posts, newsletter and LinkedIn posts to support IB students globally. One thing I love about IBlieve is the opportunity to contribute to a global student community and create resources that genuinely support IB students throughout their journey. I’m excited to work alongside the team to expand our impact, bring in new ideas, and continue building accessible resources for IB students worldwide to support more students across different stages of the IB!

Katie Tracy

Executive Director (2020–2022)

🇵🇭 IB in the Philippines (45), Cornell University 🇺🇸

Hello, I’m Katie! You may know me for my IB video series on my YouTube channel. I didn’t know how popular the IB was until my results reaction video blew up and I received thousands of messages from students asking for help worldwide. I started realizing how desperate IB students were for resources, and concurrently, the major lack of support for it. I felt it was time to create this ourselves. So two years after receiving my IB diploma, I came back to make this website with Imogen. I hope that for you, it will be the encouraging student community I always wish I had.💛

Imogen Duke

Executive Director (2020–2022)

🇬🇧 IB in the UK (45), University of Oxford

Hi! I study History at University College, Oxford, and live in London. I realised students could benefit from more support and the guidance of graduates when tutoring IB. My students’ experiences are diverse, and they are often overwhelmed by the demands of the IB. Inequality in IB provision has been compounded by the impact of the pandemic. I really hope we can help demystify the IB, build confidence, and create a positive community, so more students are able to have the positive IB experience I was lucky enough to have.
