I’m Mitra, it’s nice to meet yah!
MISSION: Inspire and build bridges.
Welcome! I'm Mitra, a proud Iranian-American and New Jersey native. I approach art and life through a dialectical lens, I embrace the coexistence of contradictory perspectives. I’m drawn to art for its ability to explore questions beyond the reach of science, philosophy, or psychology. Human connection and the pursuit of mastery are at the core of everything I do.
In my performances, I am a vessel for each story, bringing characters to life with authenticity. I thrive in comedic timing, energetic impressions, and dynamic physicality.
At Northeastern University, I served as Captain of the softball team while performing in numerous theatre productions, often sprinting from the studio to the field. Not much has changed. I’m still balling in adult leagues and working as a personal trainer.
Whether it be advanced 3-ball juggling, spinning a basketball on my finger, or dropping down for push-ups, creative leaders tend to call on my special skills. True to my poetic roots, I started rapping at age 11 and wrote a 7-minute rap from the perspective of Zeus for an English class project.
My acting journey is fueled by a deep sense of gratitude for being alive and for both the ceremonious and mundane moments that make life beautiful. As long as I’m with a TEAM, I’m living the dream. Let’s get to work.

Woman. Life. Freedom.
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
There is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
The world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
Doesn't make any sense.”
-Rumi
