Originally from Baghdad, Iraq, my journey has taken me across countries, cultures, and careers, eventually bringing me to Oregon. A place I’m grateful to have called home for the past two decades.
My passion for the violin led me to the University of Oregon, where I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in violin performance. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to perform professionally throughout the Pacific Northwest and internationally, experiences that have shaped not only my career, but also the way I approach life. Playing the violin has taught me discipline, patience, attention to detail and the value of continually striving to become better at what I do.
Having lived in different countries and being fluent in English, Arabic, and Aramaic (Chaldean), I’ve also had the opportunity to connect with people from many different cultures and walks of life. Those experiences have given me a genuine appreciation for people, their individual stories, and the importance of listening and understanding before offering guidance.
My path eventually led me to real estate, where I found another meaningful way to work closely with people and make a difference in their lives. Today, I’m a full-time Realtor serving the Portland metro area, helping clients buy and sell homes and build wealth through real estate.
Whether someone is searching for their first home, preparing to sell, or considering an investment for their future, I consider it a privilege to be part of that process. I bring the same dedication, preparation, and attention to detail to my clients that have shaped my life as a professional violinist.
For me, real estate is ultimately about people. Every home has a story, every client has different hopes and priorities, and every journey deserves to be approached with care.
