My journey began in a small farming community in Lebanon, where resilience was the cornerstone of every achievement. My grandfather was a farmer, my father was the first in our family to graduate from college while still working on the farm, and then I took the next step—I became the first in my family to travel internationally, earn advanced degrees, and build a career that spanned the globe.

But despite my corporate success, something was missing. The turning point came when I took on a side hustle as an expert for an economic empowerment project, teaching women how to market their handmade products. Seeing them realize their potential was a game-changer. I knew I had found my true calling.

So, I left the corporate world behind and dedicated myself to helping small businesses.

I believe small businesses are the heart of our communities, and when they thrive, everyone benefits. Each generation in my family moved the needle forward, and now I’m here to help others do the same through their businesses.
Together, we can create ripples of positive change that will be felt for generations to come.
