      Wrote a senior honors thesis in college exploring the themes of power and resistance in Franz Kafka's novels.
    • Quotes
      My earliest cognition of editing occurred at the age of eight in, of all places, Saudi Arabia, where television shows are heavily censored to remove even the slightest reference to sexuality. One day I became aware of all these narrative interruptions: inexplicable gaps that disrupted love scenes and rendered stories virtually incoherent. I became curious about these 'missing parts' and was soon preoccupied by a secret wish to soften the brutality of these jarring cuts.
