I’m 18 years old and am a part of the George Washington University class of 2025. While born in San Diego, California, my parents’ background includes Israel, Mexico, and Dagestan in southern Russia. I’m fascinated by my roots and love to learn about my family and their origins.

I’m naturally curious and intrigued by the world around me. While I take great interest in many subjects, I’m most captivated by history and the lessons it conveys, all the while enabling me to draw parallels from the past to the current stage of affairs.

I’m an avid reader who enjoys reflection, critical analysis, discussion, and, of course, writing. I bring awareness to matters involving human rights, civil liberties, social justice, and share transformational experiences of mine. In making my small contribution to society, I aim to promote tolerance, respect and compassion through dialogue and education.
