About Me

I was born in Bern, Switzerland to father Boaz aka ‘Bosar’, a Jazz musician of Yemeni-Israeli descent and Swiss mother Verena, a humanitarian. I grew up both in Israel and Switzerland and came to the United States 17 years ago, with a big dream and a suitcase filled with over 200 R&B CDs.

​

As a child growing up, my parents placed a strong emphasis on the creative arts, a focus that has only evolved and transmuted over the years. There was always some form of creating going on, theatre, music, art, dance and writing. At  age 16 I took a leap and wrote and directed my first play.

​

Acting and writing are my ultimate teachers. Storytelling is my way of contributing to the unification of humanity by igniting empathy and compassion.

​

I am currently developing a 6-episode limited series based on true events. A story about my great grandmother, widowed at the young age of 22, forced to save her seven children from persecution in 1930’s Yemen.
