Shireen just graduated from California Institute of the Arts this past May where she received her BFA in Acting. At the school, she gained experience in various forms of performance such as movement-based, classical, contemporary, Shakespearean, film noir, improvisation, and more. Aside from CalArts, she has also worked with the La Jolla Playhouse, Odyssey Theatre Ensemble, and Kingsmen Shakespeare Festival.

Despite her years of experience acting, she also was a competitive baton twirler for ten years and even went as far as twirling fire (which she absolutely has to include because it’s the most interesting fact about herself). She also is proficient in playing the guitar and American Sign Language

In her personal life, Shireen enjoys playing video games, watching movies, and diving into worlds filled with magic and fantasy. She loves when the media she adores is similar to the art she performs, whether the performance be abstract or based in realism.

P.S. Her favorite video game series is The Legend of Zelda. Talk to her about it if you love it too. ;)
