I am a playwright, cartoonist, and educator who enjoys making playgrounds through my art. I have a BA in Theater from the University of Tehran and an MFA in Playwriting from San Francisco State University, where I also taught Creative Writing. Currently I’m working towards a PhD in Performance Studies at UC Davis. I am a recipient of a Marcus Recruitment Award, an honorable mention at the 46th Bay Area Playwrights Festival Program, and the owner of a fuzzy parakeet that I mention in every biography.
