ABOUT
ME
I am passionate about creating characters with rich backgrounds, just as I have seen that no one place, language, or culture defines a person intrinsically.
​
Now living just outside of NYC, I am a proud Syrian-American born and raised on the island of Trinidad. I found the dramatic arts soon after moving to the US which helped me to assimilate into this new country and culture and also find a place where I fit. I started out singing and playing music and later, it evolved into a love for theatre.
​
My diverse style and ear for dialects has allowed me to appear in some amazing shows such as Stranger Things, The Blacklist, and Army Wives, playing both native and non-native English speakers. My short film, Uzma The Greatest, has been seen in many prestigious festivals, including Cannes.
​
I currently live in Newark with my husband of over 30 years.
