Welcome!

Beirut, Lebanon

I’m an author, journalist and ex-expat, currently based in northern California and applying to teach high school humanities in 2012.

My fascination with history has led me to create a blog on which I’ll chronicle a decade-long exploration into the immediate past: the 20th Century Unlimited. Some entries will draw on my experience living in and writing about the Middle East (thus: ex-expat) and wandering the ‘no man’s land’ that divides advanced Arabic from fluency.

On this website, you can also view excerpts from my published book, Creative Lives: Portraits of Lebanese Artists, and browse my clips, resume and photos. Questions? Comments? Contact me directly.
