“I have played a variety of roles in the Jewish community over my 25-year career — from educator to executive director to funder. Working at Jewish LearningWorks, particularly as the Founding Director of the Jewish Service Learning Project gave me a robust network, strong pedagogical frameworks, and an entrepreneurial orientation that I have used in every subsequent position. I’m so grateful to have been able to leverage my leadership skills across the Jewish ecosystem!”
