After completing high school, she moved to Tehran to study cinema and later traveled to the United States, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in film directing. This international academic experience broadened her perspective and exposed her to diverse cinematic styles—from European realism to Hollywood narrative techniques. Her education abroad not only refined her technical understanding of cinema but also gave her a deeper appreciation for storytelling as a tool of cultural dialogue.
Her studies were not limited to directing; she also engaged in courses on acting theory, screenwriting, and production design, disciplines that helped her develop a holistic understanding of film as an art form. These experiences shaped her later performances, which often combined intellectual depth with emotional authenticity.
