My first book A Glimpse Into My Life: A collection of Micro-Memoirs is an easy, enjoyable read as evidenced by the reviews it has received on Amazon.
It is a micro-memoir composed of eight short stories highlighting growing up in Lebanon, immigrating to the US, raising my children as a single mother, and praising my parents, grandparents. It will make you smile, may even force a tear or two or trigger a memory.
It demonstrates how a heart that loves will not be forgotten and that at the end of every dark tunnel, there is a light -if one looks for it.


I love hiking and nature photography. In 2019 I set out to visit all forty seven South Carolina state parks, an accomplishment that earned me the Ultimate Outsider title which I am quite proud of. I am currently working on taking my nature photography skills to the next level
I was honored in November, 2020 to be one of Columbia Photo Challenge winners.
