About Me

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, of Algerian descent. The child of immigrants, the grandchild of revolutionary warriors, lover of conversations over coffee and copious amounts of laughter. Physician by way of Baylor College of Medicine, master’s in narrative medicine by way of Columbia University. Completing a social justice-focused internal medicine residency at Montefiore. Along the way I’ve been a Doximity Med-Ed Fellow, the American Medical Women’s Association’s artist-in-residence, and have had my words shared on TEDx and the Intima, as can be found here.

I am a decolonialist writer and poet; storytelling is the method through which I mobilize, diversify representation, and advocate. I focus on weaving humanity with medicine and sharing experiences unique to my intersectional identities.

This space is a collection of my thoughts and work. I appreciate you for being here.
