Haneen Arafat Murphy
Hello.
I’m an actor, host, teacher and writer based in the NYC area. On my own time, I like semi-scary audio books and reading material—lately, may I recommend Rebecca Godfrey’s UNDER THE BRIDGE and Sonali Deraniyagala’s WAVE. My go-to-meal in summer is tabouli, and in winter it’s mac & cheese, and if you invite me to your party, this is what I will bring.
