After spending a few years in the United States I realized how important honoring the sense of community and my culture intentionally had become. This led to seeking out ways to engage and connect with others and starting my career in the Jewish nonprofit space. I started where the whole community was. At the Israeli American Council in Atlanta, I served as Activism Manager for the Southeast, mobilizing Jewish identity and civic engagement across an entire region, working with donors, organizers, and leaders across every demographic, not a single population.
Then I deliberately narrowed. As Midwest Regional Director and Associate Director of Israel Trips at Maccabee Task Force, I went deep into campuses — leading students to Israel, training the next generation in advocacy and interpersonal leadership, building from the ground up. I graduated Cum Laude in Political Science from Georgia State University. Mission and profession became the same thing.
