A multidisciplinary artist whose journey in theatre and cinema began at the age of twelve, shaped by years of performance, direction, and storytelling.

I am an actor and director whose artistic journey began at the age of twelve, when my first encounters with science fiction cinema sparked a desire to enter worlds that felt impossible in everyday life. Through acting and theatre training, my perspective on performance, the body, and storytelling gradually took shape. From the beginning, art was never merely about learning technique for me; it became a way to understand human experience and give it form on stage and on screen.

Over the years, I have worked on a range of projects in theatre and cinema, engaging with diverse approaches to performance and narrative. Working across both Iran and Canada has played a significant role in expanding my artistic perspective and my relationship with audiences.

What matters most to me in choosing roles and projects is engaging with characters and stories that have something meaningful to express narratives that are not simple, but reach into the hidden layers of the human condition. I am drawn to works that provoke questions rather than offer definitive answers.

Alongside acting, directing has been an integral part of my artistic path, allowing me to approach performance from a broader perspective and to create worlds in which form and meaning emerge together.
I am currently based in Toronto, where my focus is on creating and performing works that unite human experience with awareness, presence, and honesty.

For me, art is neither a destination nor a display,
it is a living path toward seeing, listening, and making meaning.

For me, theatre and cinema are not platforms for display, they are spaces for questioning, transformation, and truth.
