Jewish Content Creator

"I love connecting with Jewish students to help them find their passions and give them the strength to use their voices in a time when so many are trying to quiet us. As someone who's been working in social media for almost 15 years, I have so much knowledge to share and I feel like we can all grow better when we grow together. What's the point of working on our own success if we can't help others do the same?!?"
