Originally from Allentown, PA, my family moved to Dubai, UAE, when I was nine years old. During this time, I had the opportunity created by my mother to visit over 30 countries, immersing myself in local cuisines and beginning my culinary journey as early as my 10th birthday.

My first hands-on cooking experience took place in Sri Lanka, where a woman invited us into her home and personally taught us her own recipes—an introduction to the warm, welcoming world of hospitality that would soon shape my journey.

Living in Dubai and visiting my mom’s home country of Lebanon showed me how food, language, and art create meaningful connections. After completing university, I returned to Dubai as a Social Media & Hospitality Event Coordinator, deepening my passion for the culinary and hospitality space. Though my career ventured into the digital marketing space, food and the art of hosting were always calling me back.

What started as a creative outlet has since evolved into a lifestyle and cooking brand, inspired by my global experiences that are centered around warmth, connection, and creativity.
