Short bio:

I was born in Berkeley, CA, and I spent the majority of my youth split between the Bay Area and Beirut, Lebanon. I am fluent in four languages, and I enjoy interacting with people from all walks of life. I majored in economics, and worked in restaurant management and translation. I have been a resident of the District for over 10 years now, and I absolutely love all it has to offer.

My main interests include film, food, language, and culture, and I have this "thing" for European soccer. Writing has always been an aspiration of mine, and I find it to be a great way to document one's experiences in life. I am thrilled to be doing it as a part of the excellent team here at Patch, and I look forward to contributing to the success of this rising company!
