• Summary:

  • Hometown: Jacksonville, Florida
  • My story starts with my family, where I am the only son and am the youngest of three children. Although my mother was born in Florida, both my parents attended college outside the states. My mom in Argentina and my Dad in Syria. Both are physicians hoping to retire soon. I also have two older sisters who were both psychology majors at Wake. The oldest,Lemise just got married and is a consultant in New York, while the other, Jenna, is a counselor in Atlanta. I believe I would really enjoy living in both those cities after school. Our dog is a dachshund, Riley. He is gold and black and is named after an ex Wake Forest quarterback.

• Hobbies/Interests

  • I love watching and playing all sports, but tennis has always been my best. Being from Florida, I also love spending time around the water any opportunity I get. Friends and family are my biggest values so I am always trying to keep up with my family and am always looking to meet new people. As I’ve grown older, I have also developed a liking for casual reading, particularly John Grisham books. Lastly, I hope to move somewhere new after school and then hope to one day come back home to Jacksonville for raising my family.
