I decided filmmaking was my life's work when I realized I would rather live in a fantasy world of supernatural powers and epic drama, than in reality.

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be in movies. Living in Tucson, Arizona made this difficult, so I did theatre from age 6 to 18. It was there that I discovered I also had a passion for directing, in addition to acting. I went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and TV Production at the University of Arizona, where I wrote, produced, and directed 3 short films. Although I aim to direct and act, I enjoy taking on other roles as well, as they teach me how to become a better and wiser director/actor. I have experience working as a PA, an assistant editor, a boom operator, and many other pre, post, and production positions.

I appreciate ambitious, bold, personal cinema. I seek to tell stories through the intimate moments that go unnoticed. I draw inspiration from music, Syrian period series, Japanese animation, Old Hollywood cinema, and my studies in physics.
