| Introduction | Exotic in many ways. I come from a very diverse background which is reflected in my varying tastes. I am a Lebanese born Armenian,grew up in Syria until I was 10 when we moved to Montreal - after a brief sejour in Athens. I speak many languages and enjoy diversity as well as eccentricity. I have worked as a cook, book clerk, a houseboy, a chauffeur and a producer's assistant ... then I turned 20! Since then I have held a variety of jobs in the public contact, the government, and finance sectors and have been self employed as a decorative painter. Most recently I have been working in the Arts and Culture field trying to build up my writing and project coordinating skills. I live in a beautiful CoOp in Strathcona and love other people's pets. |
