I was born in Alexandria, Egypt and came to the U.S. when I was three years old. I was raised here in Houston. I attended University of Houston and recieved my Bachelor's of Science in Respiratory Therapy. I worked as a therapist for 16 years. I then received my alternative certification to teach. This is my eighth year as a teacher, my fourth year here at Barbara Jordan. I am married and have two boys; Jonathan who is 13 and attends McMeans Junior High School in Katy. David is 11 and also attends McMeans Junior High School. I love spending time with my family in my spare time. We are active church goers and we volunteer in our community. For fun, we love to travel.
