I am from Brooklyn, NY, and spent two years living in Israel and five in Memphis, TN before moving to New Jersey, where I currently live with my husband and two children.

I work in quality control and customer service and am studying for an MBA in Marketing Research Insight and Analytics at Rutgers University. (It's the usual progression from bachelor degrees in Psychology, English, and Judaic Studies.)

I work and go to school so that I can one day work on the creative goals I most love: writing novels and screenplays and making music and movies.

One of my proudest achievements is helping found Project Makom and running it for its first years. Also, donating a kidney.

In my spare time, I also edit. 

Sometimes, I even sleep.
