About me

I am thrilled to be writing and sharing what’s going on in Jefferson City and our surrounding areas with local families. To be honest, I’m still somewhat new to this area! I was born and raised in San Diego, CA with my big family of 7 sibling. I studied and graduated with my bachelors degree in Psychology from Brooklyn College in New York. It was in New York that I met my husband, Hicham and we started our family and had our first child, our son, Rayhan. We wanted to settle somewhere quieter and closer to family to raise our brood and since my parents retired to Lake of the Ozarks, mid MO it would be! Since our arrival here, our family has grown, my daughter Raja was born and we adopted a golden retriever named Brooklyn.

I have recently transitioned to staying home with my children, so together we are excited for the extra quality time to spend with eachother exploring and befriending our community.

Coffee shops and parks are our regular hangouts. At home you would catch me crafting, cleaning or watching a smidge of rubbish tv. If the weather is pleasant we plan to get outdoors for park play or trail walking.  

I have set a goal to start a Mom Coffee Meetup, check the calendar for info after the new year!
