Born and raised in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I was a privileged kid. But that doesn't mean I didn't have any struggles in life. After graduating college, (I studied in an Aviation school) I felt lost. I knew that I wasn't going to work in the aviation industry. But then, I found out that I really liked filmmaking. My parents weren't supportive of me because I didn't have a proper education in arts or media. Knowing the rebel that I am, I never listened to the naysayers. It broke my heart knowing that my own family wouldn't support me, but that didn't stop me from pursuing my passion. I just kept hustling until I was able to do this full time. Of course, keeping your mental health in check is a must because I learned that you have to be mentally strong in order for you to keep going.
