I was born and raised in Reno, Nevada and chose to stay in the area after completing my studies at UNR.
My mother, a social worker, and my father, a small business owner and immigrant, showed me that connection to your community and pursuing your passions are essential to living a meaningful life.
My Story
In middle school, I saw that many people were disappointed in the state of the K-12 education system, but did not want to actively participate in its betterment. I developed an interest in teaching, and applied to the Academy of Arts, Careers, and Technology (AACT) in order to receive CTE endorsement in education.
In high school, I pursued community engagement through the Nevada Interfaith Association as a speaker and youth organizer, and through Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America.
When I arrived at UNR, I immediately looked for ways to become involved in the community.
I joined a Jewish sorority, in which I held eight chairs over the course of two and a half years. I also served as the Director of Administration, and then President, for UNR's Multicultural Greek Council.

I now serve as a classroom social studies teacher, where I am able to connect students' lived experiences and the world around us to historical events, people, and places. I hope to help students gain an understanding of what has brought our global society to the present day.
