Trying to find the name of a teacher who organized the protests in Egypt...

Richard Engel interviewed her. I saw it a few days ago. I have been trying to locate her name and for the life of me I can't find it.

She's a 34 year old teacher and the one who organized the demonstrations against Mubarak. There is just a small staff working with her and they've managed to mobilize hundreds of thousands. She had said they did not expect all of this to happen, but is very pleased. She demands Mubarak to leave Egypt. Nothing less.

Anyone know?
