A Little About Me
I am a Chaldean Catholic who came to the U.S. from Iraq with my family when I was just four years old. I grew up in beautiful, sunny San Diego and truly consider myself a SoCal girl at heart. Faith has always been an important part of my life, and I was blessed to attend Catholic schools for most of my education. My journey took me to Redlands for graduate school, where I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University. In 2024, I returned home to San Diego to get married, and today I’m a happy mom to a rambunctious little boy who keeps me on my toes!
Why I Love To Serve
I love serving others and staying connected to my community, and you’ll often find me singing in the choir at my parish—a place that feels like home.
