I am a writer, artist, and practitioner of Russian-Jewish and Iraqi-Muslim heritage. I was born and raised in London with my childhood spent in Manchester. And with all that heritage came stories... And the passion to tell them. 

I am a Writer’s Guild of Great Britain nominated writer and wrote the critically acclaimed Jungle Book: Reimagined for the internationally celebrated Akram Khan Company. The show has toured 70 cities in over 30 countries and played to over 150,000 people, including at Lincoln Center (Broadway, New York), Théâtre du Châtelet (Paris), Sadler's Wells (London), and Edinburgh International Festival. 

My debut play Ali and Dahlia, inspired by my experiences working in Palestine, premiered at the Pleasance Theatre Islington in spring 2019 directed by Kerry Kyriacos Michael MBE. The play received 3 OffWestEnd Award nominations, including Most Promising New Playwright, and was a finalist for the Best Play Award in the 2020 Writers’ Guild Awards. 

I was shortlisted for the BBC Writer’s Academy 2020, making the final 12 out of 1100 and was part of the Hampstead Theatre’s INSPIRE 2020-21 Writer's Collective under the mentorship of Artistic Director Roxana Silbert and playwright Roy Williams.
