About me

View profile
Hello,
I am an Egyptian-born International actress with Armenian, Italian, French, and Russian family backgrounds. I speak several languages, four of which are native or native-level. I am cosmopolitan, world-traveled, sophisticated, and highly educated. I love working with filmmakers who have vision and care about the human condition. This is because I feel we as artists are responsible for using our art, in this case, the film medium, to bring about positive social change by enlightening audiences while entertaining them. 
I love sharing my blessings, for which I am always ever grateful, with others less fortunate than myself or sometimes with those more fortunate who may still need some insight and companionship on their journey.
I love my work and respect the hierarchies in which I work as an actor, writer, filmmaker, producer, and film festival curator. 
Life is good, the ability to create is a privilege, and we need to be grateful and generous.
Peace and Love to all who read these lines.
