She later worked at the military theater as an employee for several years before gaining momentum with more roles and success, eventually standing alongside Syria’s top actresses. She gained notable attention through the series Wayn Al-Ghalat (Where's the Mistake), and her widespread fame came both locally and across the Arab world through the popular series A'ilat Al-Nujoom (The Stars Family) with director Hisham Sharbatji.
