About Me
Growing up in a close-knit Jewish community taught an early lesson: heritage is not something to keep on a shelf — it lives through the people who pass it on. That belief has guided years of service, from youth programs at the local Chabad to sitting with Holocaust survivors and helping their memories reach future generations.
Alongside community work, time in a state senator's office, a county courtroom, and a medical practice has opened a window into law, public service, and healthcare. Art remains a constant creative outlet, and environmental advocacy adds another way to care for the world around us.
Leadership
More than a decade in this community has grown into a leadership role — planning weekly gatherings and cultural celebrations that help younger members feel rooted in their traditions and confident in who they are.
Youth Leader at Chabad of Manhattan Beach
Lead Organizer for Bar-Ilan University Student Soldiers
A fundraising campaign built from the ground up brought in $22,000 for students returning from military service — from designing outreach materials to working directly with university partners to make every dollar count.
Professional Experience
A front-row seat to the justice system: following real criminal cases, including an attempted murder trial, and seeing how prosecution and defense build their arguments in the courtroom.
Legal Intern at Kings County Supreme Court
Legislative Intern for Senator Scarcella-Spanton
A year inside state government meant researching bills, preparing briefings for staff, responding to constituents, and seeing firsthand how local concerns turn into policy.
Shadowing a nurse practitioner on patient rounds offered a close look at clinical care — documenting visits, helping patients feel at ease, and learning what compassionate medicine looks like day to day.
Keeping an education center running smoothly — matching students with tutors, staying in touch with families about progress, and managing scheduling and payments behind the scenes.
