As a Community Connector based in West Adams, I’m passionate about creating inclusive spaces that celebrate and uplift the beautiful diversity of our Jewish community here in Los Angeles.

Whether I’m supporting families to host their own Jewish gatherings through PJ Library’s Get Together Grants, planning immersive experiences like our weekend-long Family Camps or annual Hanukkah celebration at LA Zoo Lights, I love bringing people together in meaningful ways.

When I’m not at work, you’ll find me painting, crafting, trying new restaurants, and hiking with my husband and our dog, Hank.

“My favorite PJ Library book is “Queen of the Hanukkah Dosas” by Pamela Ehrenberg, which beautifully reflects a multicultural Jewish family experience like mine growing up. It’s so special to see not only representation, but a real celebration of how different traditions can come together to create something uniquely meaningful — and delicious!”

We can’t wait to meet you.

People are at the heart of everything we do. Driven by relationships and powered by the Federation, our team works with shared purpose and values to create extraordinary community experiences.
