Investigating how identity and information shape us — and creating spaces where connection can grow.

I’m a writer, strategist, and events professional working at the intersection of identity, information, and human connection.

My work spans large-scale conferences, brand activations, and community programs across tech, nonprofit, and public-facing spaces.  At their core, these efforts are about more than logistics or production — they’re about creating environments where people can gather with clarity, purpose, and trust.

Alongside my professional work, I hold an MA in Counter-Terrorism from Reichman University in Israel, where I studied media, terrorism, and information environments. My academic focus explored how narratives are constructed, distorted, and weaponized — and how public perception is shaped through repetition, framing, and emotional appeal.

This dual background informs everything I do. My writing examines identity, belonging, peoplehood, and the pressures shaping modern discourse. My strategic thinking is grounded in long-term impact rather than reaction. And my events work treats physical gathering as a serious tool for connection, resilience, and meaning — especially in fragmented or polarized environments.

Across writing, strategy, and events, my work is driven by a commitment to truth, moral clarity, and building durable forms of connection — particularly within Jewish life and the Israel–diaspora relationship, but with relevance far beyond any single community.
