Q. Where are you from?
A. I’m from West Virginia. I ended up in Dallas due to this job. I felt that moving with the company was in my best interest and would help me grow.
Q. Where did you go to school?
A. I attended West Virginia University, I was a Mountaineer!
Q. Nickname – if you have one.
A. Everyone usually calls me Zay.
Q. Favorite Food.
A. Peanut Butter Chicken. It’s an African dish that my parents made growing up and I’m still addicted to it. Feel free to ask her about it when you come in and meet her! It had us intrigued and we are still waiting to try it!
Q. Three things you can’t leave the house without.
A. My phone, my planner, and my prayer beads.
Q. Guilty pleasure.
A. My guilty pleasure, hands down, is nachos. It doesn’t matter if I’m trying to eat healthy or not, if you put nachos in front of me, it’s game over.
Q. Coffee or tea?
A. Coffee.
Q. Book you’d recommend and one takeaway?
A. The book called Room. Although you probably know the story and what book I’m talking about, the deeper message I got from it was that your life is going to play out the way you want it too, but it all depends on how you take things in and what you allow your attitude about every situation to be. Life is what you make it!
Q. Some fun facts about yourself.
A. I’ve lived in 11 different states/countries.
Q. Motto you live by.
A. Love it or leave it! I’m myself always, no matter what.
Q. Person that inspires you to be successful and why?
A. That’s easy! My father, by far. He’s a successful man that started from the ground up to build his own business. He always taught me that I wasn’t above anything and had to work like crazy to get where I wanted to be. He never allowed me to take things for granted, not even the little things. You appreciate the good and the bad and you must always separate yourself.
Q. What are you personal goals for the future?
A. My number one personal goal for the future is freedom. By freedom, I mean travel the world whenever I want too. I want to see every single country. I also want to build my whole family a house in our village in Lebanon. The looks on their faces would be enough for me!
