My friends call me Shaukat (Shock-it). I’m a multi-interest mixed kid with an MFA in Acting from the Yale School of Drama.

My mom is a Jewish girl from Philly and my dad is a South Asian Muslim. They met in New York City, where I was born. I played baseball and football for Carleton College, where I majored in Philosophy. I’m an actor,1 teacher,2 comedic improviser, and a rambunctious enthusiast of the fulfilling and intrepid. I’m based in New York City, and I’m ready to go.3
