About me

Born in Kabul, raised in Switzerland – my biography shapes an energy in front of the camera that cannot be performed.

For four years I worked as an actor and creative lead for the SRF show Zwei am Morge, developing, writing and embodying characters. Since then I have focused entirely on acting: lead roles in short film and SRF series productions, supporting role in Die Beschatter.

In parallel, I work as a commercial film director and concepter – a craft that sharpens my understanding of character and camera.

I speak German, Farsi, English, French and Spanish. Fully mobile across the DACH region and the UK.
