Mehra Marzbani

Mehra is an undergraduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles studying Public Affairs.

Her experiences as a working actor quickly opened her eyes to the social potential of art and entertainment to shape cultural empathy and public opinion in real life. For over two years now, she has made it her mission to serve in youth- and minority-led organizations focused on creating equitable solutions through policy changes, education, and storytelling.

Mehra hopes to pursue a career in law and public-serving institutions to continue to make positive changes in the world. In her free time, she loves collaging, reading plays she can’t seem to truly understand, and learning new languages. She’s excited to join the Arts for LA team as the Policy and Advocacy intern to meet other civically engaged advocates and solidify the importance of representation and diverse narratives in the arts.
