Gender	Female
Industry	Communications or Media
Occupation	Journalist
Location	Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates., United Arab Emirates
Introduction	----- Sentimental Version I am from two countries. Neither is really mine. My body resides in a prosperous city with familiar voices, but my heart resides in a country that now speaks a language foreign to my ears. ----- The less poetic version: Born and raised in the United Arab Emirates. Next nine months in a small town: South Hadley, MA. The three after that in Palo Alto, California. I left my heart in San Francisco, because Israeli security would never let me leave it in Palestine. And now I am back in Abu Dhabi, the sunny (and humid) capital of the UAE. God knows where I will be next.
