Get to Know Mona

Besides being with your family, what do you do when you are not busy being a lawyer?

I enjoy running and take full advantage of our beautiful lakefront path. I am also a self-proclaimed lifetime tourist who is fortunate to live in this great city with so much to offer so I try to explore the various cultures present in the city through food, museums, festivals, and theatre.

Is there a charitable cause you feel passionate about? If yes, what is the charity and why?

There are many charitable causes and organizations that I feel passionate about, one of them is Chicago Youth Centers (CYC) because their focus and attention is on youth development programs for Chicago kids living in underserved communities.

Action, Drama, Comedy, Foreign Film?

One of my favorite pastimes is watching movies which means for me, it would be all of the above. Everyone can use a little mind candy every now and again.
