She began her musical journey as a classically trained pianist and joined the conservatory of El Manar in Tunis where she studied Arab music theory. Later, she joined the orchestra as a choir member and then as a cellist. Her secondary education continued at the African Leadership Academy in Johannesburg. She is currently a sophomore at Bowdoin College.
Maine Takht Ensemble performs classical, art, and folk music from the Arab World on instruments that make up the traditional chamber ensemble of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine known as a Takht.
