Being compassionate and just constitutes my compass as a physician when serving every patient, and this was instilled in me by my mother Mariam and my father Shbib. Being an orphan at an early age with immense financial hardship, I would have never made it if it were not for my brothers Diaa and Safi who dedicated their lives to provide for me. My husband Mohammad, my eternal source of hope, continuously inspired and brought meaningfulness to my life. James Cox, who saw in me what others did not, along with endless opportunities, shaped my professional career. My mentor and role model, Hagop Kantarjian, who with his continuous help and support, served as a guiding light for all aspects of my professional life. My final dedication is to my children Zaynab and Abbas who honored me with my best achievement in life of being a mother.
