I am Sephardic and grew up in southern NM. I double majored in history and foreign languages at NMSU. Afterwards, I met my husband and we traveled around Latin America, living in Brazil, Mexico, and Guatemala. I was a Fulbright grantee in Romania where I taught English at a university. We have been in DC for over two years. I work at the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington and got married in June 2025!
