After graduation, Razane got her first break on the Golden Globe-winning series Carlos, marking the beginning of her acting career.

During her spare time, Razane enjoys photography, drawing, and writing. She is a frequent student at Heatherley’s School of Art in London and is hoping to one day exhibit her works.
