After graduating from UCLA with degrees in political science and history, she then graduated from UCLA's prestigious film school. Since then, she has been directing films, commercials and music videos for international artists such as Maher Zain. After getting years of experience working at well known production companies in mainstream Hollywood, she is now working on her first full-length feature film, a dramatic comedy called The Tiger Hunter. She hopes her film, which features a positive Muslim character in a lead role, will help jumpstart a trend of normalizing Muslims through entertainment. She also hopes it will make people laugh themselves silly.
