I was born in Kabul, Afghanistan on March 27. When I was 7 yrs old, we had to flee to Peshawar, Pakistan due to Soviet invasion of our country. I went to Afghan school in Pakistan and studied until I graduated (class 12) in 1999.
I taught ESL for four years from 1997 to 2000. In 2000, I started working as an HR/Admin person for International Medical Corps (IMC). In 2001, I found a job at the US Embassy in Kabul as Economic/Commercial Assistant and repatriated to Afghanistan. Luckily, I got admission at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton and completed a degree in liberal arts in 2009.
Later, I got a job at Mount Madonna Center (MMC) in California in 2010 as a Field Officer. After working for a short time at MMC, I realized I could be of better service to my own Afghans, so I repatriated to Afghanistan. I started working at Human Rights Research & Advocacy Consortium (HRRAC) as Communication Officer, Research Consultant and later on as its Deputy Director. I always aspired to be a writer. I was lucky enough to hear a real life story and base my novel on it. I quit my job and started promoting my novel. I have only taken a couple of writing assignments as a Writing Consultant for a couple of international firms.
My hobbies include cricket, chess, event planning, working out/exercising, traveling and internet surfing. I speak Pashto, Dari, English, and Urdo and I understand Hindi.view less
