Communications Strategist and Storyteller
Storytelling has been at the core of who I am. It’s how I make sense of the world, connect with people, and honor the voices of those who have been forgotten. My journey as a storyteller and community volunteer is deeply rooted in my Jewish identity—an identity that has shaped both how and why I tell stories.
Approaching the age of 12, I stood at a pivotal moment—my Bat Mitzvah, the transition into womanhood—a milestone often marked by a community service project, a way of repairing the world. But for me, that calling came even earlier. As a child, I performed musicals with my peers at retirement homes, unknowingly laying the foundation for what would become my lifelong mission. I saw firsthand how the elderly were often forgotten, longing for companionship and a spiritual connection with G-d. Their need for human warmth moved me deeply, inspiring me to find a way to bring warmth and meaning into their lives.
At just 11 years old, I co-founded a volunteer organization that provided spiritual services for Jewish residents living in retirement communities. Many of the residents who attended my services were Holocaust survivors, carrying the weight of an unspeakable loss—their families perished, their memories etched in history. I also worked with Jewish residents in memory care, those suffering from severe stages of dementia. Despite their fading recollections, I realized that stories could come to life through the power of song and prayer, making them feel seen.
The stories they shared with me—tales of survival, love, resilience, and heartbreak—profoundly shaped who I am today. I’ve become more empathetic, more attuned to the struggles of others. Many of them have passed away, but their legacy lives on in the stories I tell.
To honor my friends, I continue to share their stories and wisdom. They taught me how to communicate with the world and how to infuse every story with love. Their captivating way of storytelling—resonating with an audience through raw emotions—has influenced my craft and career in profound ways.
My passion for meaningful storytelling naturally led me to a career in public relations. I am driven by the power of narratives that educate, advocate, and inspire change—especially when it comes to combating antisemitism. I believe in storytelling that not only informs but deeply resonates with people, and inspires people to take action. Whether through strategic messaging, media relations, or creative campaigns, my goal is to craft stories that leave a lasting impact and bring people together.
