"For me, life truly begins in the art of acting."

I moved to Hamburg on my own for my passion—because I embrace challenges and never take half-measures when something sets my soul on fire. 
I am determined, relentless, and willing to give everything, because only those who truly fight can create something real.

My Kurdish roots and bilingual upbringing add depth and versatility to my work, whether in raw, intense roles or quiet, nuanced moments.

When I’m not in front of the camera, you’ll find me in nature—hiking, training, moving. I go where my body follows what my mind won’t let go of. 
For me, movement and acting are the same: both demand endurance, strength, and devotion.

I don’t choose the easy path. I choose the raw, the real, the unforgettable. And that’s exactly what I bring to the stage and the screen.
