"Hi everyone and so nice to meet you. I hold a degree in Jewish History and Informatics from the University of California, Irvine, where I focused on the rich and complex stories of Jewish life, from Sephardic communities in North Africa and the Ottoman Empire to Ashkenazi life across Eastern and Western Europe. My studies were rooted in understanding not just the facts, but the meaning behind Jewish survival, resilience, and identity.
While at UCI, I also served as a student assistant for the Jewish Studies Department, where I helped support programming, student engagement, and community education efforts.
Beyond the classroom, I have led educational workshops across the country for middle and high school students on topics like antisemitism, interfaith understanding, and Jewish pride. I started this work in high school by founding a nonprofit focused on dialogue and antisemitism education, and it has remained at the heart of everything I do.
I believe that teaching about antisemitism and Jewish identity is one of the most important responsibilities we have. It is how we prepare the next generation to stand strong, think deeply, and carry their identity with joy and confidence. Every Jewish child deserves access to a mentor and a guide, someone they can relate to, especially in times like these when so many are asking hard questions about who they are and where they belong.
Most of my experience has been in person, working with Jewish families in California. I am new to this platform and excited to connect with more families who are looking for thoughtful, meaningful Jewish learning. I also specialize in working with neurodiverse learners, including students with ADHD and autism, and I offer Hebrew reading support as well as broader learning around Torah, history, and values.
If you are looking for a tutor who combines academic depth with real experience, compassion, and a personal commitment to Jewish education, I would be honored to work with your family." less...
