Bio

Studied Advertising & Sales. Worked in advertising and media for the past 12 years. And now i am on a sabbatical leave, reconsidering my career, and trying to make a huge shift from the advertising world to another more "meaningful" world. Let's see if i can succeed in this. Not sure i will, but i would have tried at least... Right?

I'm passionate about

Presentation skills- i am amazed by people's skills to present their idea in a creative way, this is what made TED my TOP PRIORITY.

An idea worth spreading

What if we live in a world where equality and justice prevail.

The TED story

I have a dream! a silly dream may be, but nevertheless it was a dream: to attend TED once (at least) in my lifetime. We didn't use to have these kinds of events here in Lebanon! I used to spend my time watching videos online and i envied people who have LIVE access to these kinds of conferences. And then, the dream came true, not once, not twice, but 3 times! I attended TEDGlobal in 2010, TEDActive in 2012 and 2013 and the brilliant TEDxSummit also in 2012. That's more than i could have dreamed of in a lifetime. And TEDxBeirut! 6 TEDxBeirutSalons and 2 TEDxBeirut main events in 2011 and 2012! What a success!! Not forgetting the intimate WEEKLY TEDxSKE salon that we've been having at our home for more than 4 years now!! Want to hear more? Want to hear about the 2 TEDxGreenBeirut salons that we did in 2010? :) That's enough TED & TEDx in my life for now! :)
