Bio:
I was born in my grandmother's house in Dhaka, Bangladesh to a very over-protective mother and a failed actor-turned-convenient store owner father. I grew up in Miami, Florida, so you’d think I would have enjoyed the outdoors more, perhaps the beach, or at least the ubiquitous sunshine. Instead, I spent a nerdy, chubby childhood glued to the TV, taking occasional breaks to read a book or seven.
Eager to tell stories of my own, after graduating college, I decided to move to Hollywood. My parents were not so easily on board, and for the sake of EVERYONE'S happiness - I lied. I lied to my parents that I was moving to Los Angeles because I got accepted in to the MBA program at UCLA. Reluctantly, they agreed because magically tuition and board were being paid by my countless "scholarships."
I know. I know. I can feel the tangible judgement.
I wrote sketches and have attended Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. Having a curiosity for improv and comedy, I found myself enthralled by the idea of being a comedy writer for television, or dare I say it, SNL.
Over the years, I have been fortunate to work on projects for Funny or Die, Buzzfeed, MTV, TruTV, and Feigco Productions as a writer and performer.
I’ve always loved the idea to be in a talking box and I’m thrilled to finally be a part of keeping the next generation of nerdy, chubby kids glued to their television screens... or whatever newfangled device they end up staring at.
