: About Me

I work for a community non-profit as their Director of Marketing and Communications and have worked in the non-profit sector for over 10 years. With two Masters degrees, one in Middle East Studies and the other in Education, I have developed materials and projects focused on the fields of education, peace-building, and global awareness. I didn't always work in non-profit though. As a certified teacher, I also taught in public schools both in New York and in Israel for a few years. I started my career working in magazine and book publishing.

Education:

I'm always learning, whether through professional development or classes for pleasure, reading great books, listening to wise people, or the greatest teacher of all, life. But please find a list of my formal education below:

*History and Studio Art, Georgetown University, Bachelors degree

*Middle East Studies, New York University, Masters degree

*Social Studies Teaching, Columbia University Teacher's College, Masters degree

Hobbies:

I love spending time with family and friends and fixing up and decorating the new home I bought with my husband this year. I also meditate, practice yoga, go for walks and discover nature, travel to new and not-so-new-to-me places, read good books, photograph, visit art exhibitions, follow current events - and of course, write.
