About Our Director

Jihan 'Jiji' Massoud, Director, San Marino Community Church Nursery School

Jihan Massoud, also known as Jiji, was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt. She joined SMCC in the summer of 2021. She has known it was God’s calling for her to work with children ever since she was young.

She began at fifteen years old as a Sunday school teacher, and stayed in the early childhood development field for over twenty years, earning credentials from Pasadena City College and UCLA. "It is such a joy and pleasure to work with little ones. They are so impressionable and the Lord has given me the gift to be able to connect with them on a deeper level."

Jiji has two kids and an amazing husband, Romani.
