About Me:

Born and raised in Italy, studied my first and second degree in London, pursued my Zionist dream and made Alyah 4 years ago.

Professionally I....

I am currently working for NGO based in Europe promoting democracy and universal human rights against terrorism and radical exremist ideologies. I have previously worked in communications and PR, Hasbara and event management.

I am involved with the following Jewish organizations/institutions/projects:

I am a ROI 2008 alumni, project coordinator of the London School of Economics (LSE) Alumni in Israel

In the past I have been involved with the following Jewish organizations/institutions/projects:

In high-school I was a member and then a madricha at Bnei Akiva. At university, I have been actively involved in the Jewish Society and at the LSE I was one of the founders of the LSE Israel Society and the COEXIST group, a meeting point for people of different faiths and different views on the Middle East Conflict.

Other ways in which I am an activist/leader in the Jewish community

I have been helping new Olim from Europe settling in in Israel, finding jobs opportunities, flats etc.

What do you think about Jewish Peoplehood?

I think uniting and enhancing the Jewish people's identity as one people is one of the most important challenges our generation should focus on. Thankfully, most of us live a comfortable threat-free life and in this enviroment it is somehow more difficoult to get young people to think about their identity... that's why it is so important to have organizations like KOL DOR creating a meeting place for committed and energetic people to exchange ideas and get to work together for the future of the Jewish global community

What are the Jewish (or other) values/issues about which you are most passionate?

I am interested in differnt traditions from Jews that come from different areas and I think it is very important to preserve them and keep them alive.
Also, I am interested in Zionist history and to see how Zionism has evolved until today and what are the future goals of Zionism

What are you looking for in the KolDor network?

Meeting new people that share my interest, getting involved in projects I might be able to contribute to, continue being involved in Jewish activities and groups
