Mona Yousefi is a British actress. She was born and raised in London UK. Mona gained widespread acclaim for her standout performance in her BBC show Going Native where she starred in multiple roles.
She was educated at the Hall School Wimbledon in London before attending the University of Greenwich London, where she graduated with a BA Hons in Media and Communications and the University of Westminster London where she graduated with an LLM in Entertainment Law.
She went on to work for criminal Law firm Joseph Hill & Co in London as a paralegal before landing her first directorial television debut with Mayhem Makers for E4 which aired in 2007.
Mona got Mayhem Makers commissioned without an agent or any industry connections. She took herself down to Channel 4, tied a trailer tape of her show to a helium balloon and arrived at reception but was duly kicked out. Unperturbed, she climbed up the side of the building to the mail-room window where she paid the post room guy ten pounds to put the trailer onto the desk of the Head of Comedy... and so it began.
Mona then caught the attention of Hat Trick Productions who picked her up as talent and here she found a nurturing environment for her creative work, leading to the optioning of some characters she had created. Among these personas were Tallah Khosravian, the Middle-Eastern businesswoman; Wakana Fukui, the Japanese Lolita girl; and the widow Natascha Leboushkin, a Russian social climber. These characters formed the foundation of "Going Native", a groundbreaking project where Mona skillfully portrayed them in the real world under the unsuspicious guise of a genuine documentary.
Mona recently trained in acting at RADA, The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and has undertaken specialist training in the Meisner technique under the guidance of Scott Williams. Prior to this, she received training in method acting from teacher Sam Rumbelow and further honed her skills in characters and theatre with the renowned Philippe Gaulier.
In addition to her acting training, Mona has completed a stunt training course at the British Action Academy under the guidance of Andreas Petrides, one of the UK's leading Action Directors, Stunt Coordinators, Fight Arrangers, and Stunt Performers.
