From tacos to tahina.
I am a Texan turned New Yorker turned Israelite. How did that come to be? Well, it’s a bit of a story.
I moved to Israel five years ago on a hunch. I grew up in San Antonio, TX (Go Spurs Go) an incredible city just a few hours from the Mexican border— and later I moved to New York City as a young adult for college. I neither grew up Jewish nor did I have much experience with Israel apart from a couple of trips to visit, and yet, after six wonderful years of living in Manhattan, a force was pulling me towards the Holy Land. I followed my intuition and arrived in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Baka— with nothing but two extra-large suitcases and a roommate I had never met.
I enrolled in a Master’s degree program at Hebrew University, and shortly after completing it I began the conversion process with the Rabbanut in Jerusalem. After two years of studying, hard work, blood, sweat, and tears (just kidding, about the blood at least) I finished the process. I am proud to say the giur was, for me, meaningful, beautiful and pushed me to some serious self-reflection that enabled me to be certain of my path.
After embarking on this journey, I met my husband— a sabra, and we got married in 2018 in a beautiful organic farm outside of Jerusalem on a June morning.
Somewhere along this personal journey, I leveraged my degree in Literature (The New School, NYC) and my experience in writing and research from my two Masters degrees in History, into creating high-quality content for start-ups, tech companies, solopreneurs, and more.
I’ve had the unique privilege to work with companies in the United States and in Israel who are leaders in technology, thought and innovation and I am constantly inspired by their drive and imagination.
I moved my life to Israel to follow a gut feeling, and I believe that the opportunity to help Israeli companies reach the world stage through effective English content is where I have found my career’s purpose.
