I am married with two children. I was born in Alexandria Egypt and arrived in Melbourne in 1966 and worked in various occupational disciplines whilst studying part time. I Completed HSC (VCE) by studying at night classes and then enrolled as a mature age student at RMIT and Latrobe University. I continued studies by transferring from Latrobe to Monash University where I completed a BSc Degree at Monash University.I worked for the EPA as a Scientist and have been semi-retired since 2005.

Since 2005 I have worked as a teacher / sessional lecturer at Swinburne TAFE focusing on Industrial Waste Management & Assessment,
Ecology; Chemistry & Geology. I also worked as a Consultant in these fields. In addition I work part time as an Interpreter for the Law Courts and for Medical cases within Clinics, Hospitals and Rehabilitation/Community Health Services.

I joined EEAMA as a financial member in 1968 and I consider the EEAMA's Youth Sub-committee to be a priority for EEAMA's future.
I recently supervised and helped coordinate the EEAMA group during the trip to Egypt in 2010. I frequently write and publishing Articles, mainly about EEAMA's Youth activities, in the Club's bimonthly magazine, Sphinx.
I am also a former team-member of EAMA's volley ball and table tennis teams and have participated in tennis and basket-ball tournaments within the club.
