Born in Lyon—the city that invented cinema—I grew up between France and Rabat, Morocco, surrounded by books, theatre, and film. From an early age, I was drawn to light: how it shapes faces, landscapes, and meaning. That curiosity led me first to photography, then to studying cinema in Morocco, where I learned to apply French formal techniques to Moroccan stories and landscapes.

I later moved to New York to complete my BFA at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Since then, my work across theatre and film has centered on creating and supporting stories that reflect multicultural perspectives.

I draw inspiration from artists such as Agnès Varda, Vivian Maier, Spike Lee, James Joyce, and Rumi.
