She followed that with the independent film “Becoming Burlesque.” She was amazing as Mina Hassan on the CBS military drama “Seal Team,” and was also a season regular on the short form Sci-fi series “ALT.”

Shiva’s goal as an actress/model is to inspire! To be the voice of many women who are not in a position to be heard or seen. As an immigrant middle eastern woman who migrated more than once with her family for a better life, she represents the little girls with big dreams, and the women who fight for their freedom for a better life. She is dedicated to using her work as a medium to tell deep impactful stories. To inspire, to support, and to empower women all over the world. Most importantly, she wants to spread awareness about current pressing issues surrounding modern culture and society. What an amazing woman on an incredible journey.
