She excelled academically, graduating from a special maths program with a Golden Medal, but her passion for the arts led her to pursue music and performance from an early age. Alongside her studies, Madina trained in piano and frequently performed on stage, singing, dancing and acting.

Beyond her professional achievements, Madina is the proud mother of her 6-year-old daughter, Amira, who is the centre of her world. Madina’s passion for acting drives her – each role and project leaves a lasting mark on her heart. She thrives on the challenges of new characters, the excitement of fresh experiences, and the constant pursuit of growth in her craft.
