Fazal has a BA in Japanese Language and Literature with Honors from Wellesley College, studied acting in Japan through Stanford University and the Takarazuka Revue Company, and trained in Los Angeles with the Groundlings, Charlie Adler, and Stephen Book. She has performed on stages across the world, notably Off-Broadway at Cherry Lane Theatre where she produced her award-winning, one-woman show for the New York International Fringe Festival in 2010.
The proud daughter of Pakistani immigrants, Fazal is a passionate supporter of Paani Project, a nonprofit that works with community partners and institutions in the United States and Pakistan to help alleviate clean water inaccessibility, advocate for gender equity, and address a variety of pressing health disparities in rural South Asian communities.
