I am an Iranian Australian writer and creative strategist.

I’m a freelance writer, editor and creative strategist with experience spanning the diverse worlds of editorial, news and media marketing from Sydney to New York City.

I'm an ex-Time Out Magazine strategist, editor and awarded essayist who has written numerous colourful, digital-first stories on culture, travel and social justice for the likes of Refinery29, Time Out, SBS and Billabong, amongst many others.

I prioritise empathy and nuanced global perspectives in my storytelling, and bring a warm, human-centered focus to everything that I do.
