About me
and the show
My journey began in Tehran, Iran, where my family relocated to Israel and later to the United States during my early years.
Despite initially aspiring to become a fashion designer, my passion shifted towards the theater and film industry. At the age of 25, I embarked on formal training in theater.
My breakthrough came at the Gene Frankel Theater, where I garnered attention for my portrayal of Gittel in William Gibson’s play. Subsequently, I participated in Off-Broadway productions like “Grotesque Love Songs,” “Savage in Limbo,” and “Barefoot in the Park.”
Transitioning my focus to television and film, I ventured into short films and independent features. Notably, I made appearances in “Sex and the City,” an HBO series, and played a role in the ABC daytime serial “One Life to Live.”
My diverse roles also include portraying the Iraqi Mother in “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn” & Pamphlet Woman in “Law & Order”.
