About Me!

Welcome! I'm Sami, and I live in New York City. I'm an actress, a guitar player, a songwriter, and a storyteller. I graduated from Northwestern in 2023 where I studied theatre and TYA, and since then, I have been living my East Coast fantasy, working in Brooklyn public schools by day and mostly participating in New Work creation by night. My favorite thing to do is write songs on my guitar and jam with my friends. I love to sing and act, and my favorite musical is Shrek the Musical (of course).

Ever since I was a kid, I knew I would be an actress. Growing up, movies were an escape for me. I would Rent and Grease and sing along, but put myself into the jubilation of the high highs and the heartbreak of the low lows. Now, it's more important than ever to tell new stories and old ones to audiences who are longing for escape, just like I was. I'm drawn to plays with beautiful language. I crave stories of healing and coming of age. If I can make it happen, I will be apart of something that leaves a mark on our generation. With what time we have left, I want to make art that reminds us why the pain we feel helps us come back to life. Please join me on that journey!
