I grew up in Granville, Ohio but now attend University of Maryland as a freshman. Throughout high school, I participated in my school's journalism program where I was the chief sports writer. I also was a four-year member of the tennis team and a captain during my senior season. I graduated with honors and was in the top ten percent for my year.
Some of my passions include traveling, working out, baking, and reading. Israel is my favorite country I have visited, but I also have loved my time in Peru, England, the Netherlands, and France. I attended a semester abroad in Israel during my junior year as well as a meaningful Holocaust education trip to Poland and Israel during my senior year. I love learning about new cultures and meeting people from all over the world.
During high school I worked at Palumbo's Italian Market where I helped cook and cater events including weddings and private dinners. I also babysit and worked as a teacher's aid at my synagogue's Sunday school.
At the University of Maryland, I am majoring in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Hebrew. I am a member of the club tennis team, Engineers Without Borders and an active member in Hillel.
