I’m a Product Manager and Digital Product Designer based in New York City. I attended Columbia University, studying Psychology and Political Science and rowing on the Varsity Women’s Crew team. Following graduation, I embarked on a two-year volunteer service in the Israel Defense Forces as a Lone Soldier (a foreign enlistee without immediate family in the country) and served in the Artillery Corps. Upon completing my service, I returned to New York City and have been working at KOALA, a small travel-tech startup as Product Manager / UX Lead for the past five years.

Throughout my life and career, I have cultivated a reputation for being highly dedicated, resourceful, fiercely loyal, and efficient. As a D1 athlete and a combat soldier in the Israeli Defense Force, I learned how to push myself to my limits. This has left me with a confidence and perspective that has helped me in every aspect of my career. My versatility and willingness to take on diverse projects have earned me the nickname, “the Swiss Army Knife” within my professional circle.

Outside of work, I live in Chelsea with my husband and two rescue dogs, Lola and Winnie.
