CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a PhD student at the University of Minnesota, focusing on Jewish History. I love travelling, learning new things, and teaching. I have degrees in Anthropology (with a focus in Linguistics), Classics (with a focus in Greek Literature), and Religion (Judaism). I am a vegetarian and an amateur cook. I work as a professional henna artist, as well as researching henna traditions, and as a Hebrew calligrapher. I am very involved in interfaith dialogue; I am a practicing Jew (you know what they say - practice makes perfect!) but I have tremendous respect for the beauty in other religions and believe that all religions can teach us something about a transcendent Truth.
