About
I was born in Boston and grew up just outside the city. I was raised in a multicultural home—my dad immigrated from Iran during the revolution, and my mom was raised Jewish. From a young age, I was drawn to acting—youth theatre led to Shakespeare summer intensives, which brought me to weekend classes at Boston Casting.
​
I always knew I wanted to study acting in college, and I earned my BFA in Acting at Boston University with a Minor in Business Management and Administration. I've used my acting degree combined with my business background to pursue directing and producing in addition to acting.
​
In my free time, I love to cook, I have a passion for making espresso, I enjoy a good conversation accompanied by a cigar, I love fishing, and any time spent near the ocean is a moment I relish.
BINA Farm
When I was 6 years old, my parents founded BINA Farm Center—a nonprofit with an inclusive mission to bring people with and without disabilities together through clinical, therapeutic, and recreational programs that offer equine-assisted services, gardening, and vocational opportunities.
​
From the very beginning, I’ve been involved, I was a founding member of the Teen Ambassador Program—a group of teenagers of all abilities who wrote grants, pitched BINA’s mission to organizations, and did community service at the barn.
​
In 2016, I began directing part of the on-stage production of BINA’s annual Horsing Around black tie gala, and in 2022, I started the tradition of co-emceeing the event with my brother, Aidin.
​
Giving back to others is an integral part of my upbringing and I only hope that I can carry on the mission of bringing people together throughout my life. What I've learned from BINA Farm comes with me into every room and I'm grateful for the chance to meet all the amazing people involved with our program.
