'I am thrilled to be joining The Village Shul and I am looking forward to partnering and joining forces, with all of you! Throughout my 25-plus-year career in Jewish not-for-profit work, I have remained committed to fostering identity, engagement, and community building, and I am thrilled to continue this work at The Village Shul.

In my previous roles as a camp director, school administrator, and educator, I have championed staff development, implemented policies and procedures, and contributed to strategic planning to advance the organization's mission and growth objectives.
