Growing up, she was taught to ride horseback English and Western, Karate, and Dirt Biking. When she was 6, she had a painting published in the local paper. At age 7, she won "The Young Authors Award" and at age 12, received 2nd place in "The Veterans of Foreign Wars" essay competition. Her mother, who is a classically trained Egyptian bellydancer, taught the skill to her daughter at age 7. Age 13, she enrolled in Drama at Oak Harbor High School, which she fell in love with instantly. When she was 16, she became emancipated, and moved a few months later to California to start her acting career. She landed a few small roles in short films, but it wasn't until she started to attend "The Lee Strasberg Theater Institute" of CA, that things began to take off.
