ABOUT ME

I am a forensic psychologist (yes similar to what you see on Criminal Minds lol) interested in war crimes.

I have recently left everything (except my family) and moved to Australia to start a new adventure.

I previously had my own Educational and Psychological Training Program (PEPT) providing workshops for educators and caregivers

www.mypept.com

I also worked as a part-time lecturer at AUB and LAU and in my spare time I was a Latin Dance Instructor and a fundraiser and Climber with a small initiative charity called Climb for Cancer http://www.justgiving.com/cfcc.

Currently I am a program manager for a college in Sydney that provides programs in psychology, Counselling and community services and the mom of a two year old.

I basically try not to have any free time....after all isn't live for living? :)

PHILOSOPHY

I like long walks, especially when taken by people who annoy me!!!
