About me

I am a London-based writer, actor, and director with a passion for dark comedy and bold storytelling. I am currently developing my first one-woman show, exploring a deeply personal and political story as a Kurdish immigrant. Previously, I wrote, directed, and produced a short film about schizophrenia, further honing my skills in screen storytelling.

My debut play, Hoops and Hookups, received a 5 star review from Everything Theatre and was featured on BBC Radio London. I specialise in sharp, character driven narratives that blend humour with raw emotional depth.

Alongside writing, I have directed and facilitated theatre projects, bringing my experience as a performer and storyteller into the rehearsal room. A graduate of the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and an alumni of The BRIT School, I am committed to creating work that is dynamic, daring, and thought-provoking.
