There, I finished my studies. I first worked as an English teacher in high schools. After five years, I got a job as head of public relations with the Syrian Insurance Company for sixteen years.
Then in 1991, I returned to the USA and worked with Metropolitan Insurance Company as telecommunicator in Saint Louis for two years. In 2003, I returned to Damascus and worked in the private tutor program with the American Language Center (ALC) until 2012. Because of the events in the revolution, the ALC has been closed down, but I still give private lessons in English at home.
I began writing my first poems in 1975 about what I feel, see, and hear and my feelings, and ties with Mother Nature; about the earth and sky; about the four seasons; about life and love, its happiness and hardships; and about marriage and broken homes we hear of and see. I’ve written about the devastating war in Syria that continues till now for four years—and nothing has been done about it. If there were more love in the world, there would not be any more wars and cruelty, starvation, and refugees.
But I never thought of publishing my work until my dear son and daughter encouraged me to do so.view less
