About me

View profile
I'm an actor, writer, and director working at the intersection of film and theatre. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Acting (2012–2015) and have performed in productions for Netflix, Det Norske Teatret, Kilden Teater, and Sogn og Fjordane Teater.

In recent years, I have also been writing and directing. My short film Gulistan is currently in development with support from the Norwegian Film Institute, and my stage–film hybrid F**ing Foreigner – I Love You premiered at Vega Scene in 2026. I am also developing the feature film Home Is Where My Heart Is, which is currently in development with funding from the Norwegian Film Institute.

My creative approach is deeply collaborative, rooted in performance authenticity and cinematic precision. I work to merge emotional truth with visual composition, crafting stories that move across borders—culturally, linguistically, and artistically.

Fluent in Norwegian, Kurdish, and English. I also speak basic Arabic.
