Career Goals
My first goal is to be able to advance a Nonprofit Organization through all the knowledge and skills I acquired thus far, as an executive director.
My second goal is to find a nest for my project “fashion to cancer patients ages 2 - 9”. My short-term plan is to build a brand for “redesigning fashionable hospital gowns” for doctors and for patients. Every gown will be made of eco-friendly bamboo satisfying CDC guidelines. Every gown will be printed with the main characters of a book from the series of Amal Ayoub’s children series, “I Love my Language”. Every gown will have a corresponding book that will be given to the child on the day of the chemotherapy.

Where I am from
I come from the smallest, yet the most notorious country in the world, Lebanon. I survived the civil war and I enjoyed rosy years that carried all my nostalgia in a country that combines beauty and the beast. Lebanese is not a nationality, it’s a skill that we acquire through endurance and proof of hopes and deception. Living in Lebanon teaches emotional intelligence to the full, thus I consider myself a very optimistic person who likes to embrace life against all odds.
My first career was “Chief Marketing on Advertising” at Coca-Cola, (1990-1991). I am equipped with a strong banking experience as a credit officer at Banco Di Roma, my second career (1992-1997). I enjoyed innovation and artistry during my third career as a fashion designer (2005-2015). Then I moved to the United States from Lebanon in 2014 and this move had all its charm and glamour. I undertook every course at Lasell University in Newton, ma with substantial energy, enthusiasm and perseverance. I am particularly intrigued by “creativity” in media and communication and by the science that professionals have built around it. I aspire to dedicate all my efforts to charity, nonprofit activities that can spread Joy around.
