I have been working to empower those around me my entire life, ranging from volunteering at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, hosting my own health and wellness podcast "We're All Growing Together," and working at the Child Mind Institute as a Behavioral Counselor. I thrive in being able to collaborate with my fellow peer educators and create events and workshops for the Brandeis community's well-being.
