I am a major movie buff! I see them all from foreign to funny to ridiculous. I enjoy volunteering. It’s great to spend time with people who are plugged in because they choose to, not because they have to.

Habitat for Humanity and Meals on Wheels get the bulk of my time. I am a manicurist by trade, by way of private school and pre-law.

Go figure.

What started as a creative way to meet women and and make a few easy bucks in college ended up taking me places I never imagined…from magazine layouts, to opening four salons/ spas over the years, to being the former personal manicurist to Madame Nazik Audeh Hariri (Wife of the former Lebanese Prime Minister).

I love to travel, make new friends and find something new and comical each day.
