ABOUT ME

Hi! Thanks for visiting my website. I'm a mom, a lawyer, a writer and a painter. I’ve been practicing transportation law for  twenty-five years. In March 2020, I started writing and loved it. I’ve written a middle grade novel, THE BLUE DRESS, based on my childhood as an Iranian immigrant struggling to fit into my family and new American homeland, It will be out Winter 2026.

 

 I'm represented by Erin Niumata at Folio Literary Management for adult books and John Cusick at Folio Jr. for children's books. 

 

A few years ago, I​ hosted a podcast for a while called The Second Half about the struggle, heartbreak, healing and joy we experience in the second half of life.  Check it out, we had some great guests.

​

I’ve lived in Iran, France, England, Spain, and Canada. Now my home is in the Washington D.C. area with my husband and two boys.
