I am an Israeli writer and development worker currently based in Tel Aviv and the CEO of ARDC Israel. I was born on an Israeli kibbutz, and I grew up moving from city to city in different corners of the world. My love for literature took me to the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, where I studied Philosophy and Comparative Literature. Since my early days as a student in Jerusalem, I was drawn to different social causes. I was first involved as an activist, then as an NGO worker, and I eventually acquired my Master's in Development Studies. I have since mostly worked with refugee communities in East Africa and Israel. My work took me to different countries including Uganda and Kenya, where I served as Country Director for IsraAID after co-founding the Jerusalem African Community Center.

 

In my free time, I try to make room for what has always been my passion - writing. My original poetry and fiction, as well as poetry translations, have appeared in various literary magazines including Arc, Caesura, and The Ilanot Review.
