Biography

I am a Persian- Salvadoran-Canadian multidisciplinary artist presently based in New York City. With my focus being in theatre and film, I am a screenwriter, librettist, director, and choreographer with a passion for elevating and developing stories that include voices of queer and BIPOC communities. I am recent graduate of New York University where I earned the distinction of Master of Fine Art from the "Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program.” Immediately after, I was 1 of 12 international participants selected for the “Johnny Mercer Songwriters Project,” where I received mentorship from Crag Carnelia, Andrew Lippa, Lindy Robbins, and Autumn Rowe. My theatrical writing has been developed and presented by Feinstein’s 54 Below, Rattlestick Playwright’s Theatre, Lincoln Center, and NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.
