Why did you choose to volunteer with ENP?

Coming from New York City, I have seen the effects of racial discrimination in a city firsthand, and I value ENP's mission to prevent a black underclass in Israel. I am excited to work with ENP because of the diverse range of initiatives and kind work culture.

What do you hope to achieve through your experience with ENP?

I hope to learn more about the Ethiopian-Israeli community and its unique culture and traditions. Having the opportunity to work here in Israel is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I hope to build meaningful connections with the people I meet.

What was the best day of your life and why?

Seeing Taylor Swift perform live at her Eras Tour! She's my favorite artist, and hearing all of my favorite songs live was truly an unforgettable experience.

Who do you admire most and why?

My two younger sisters. They are both so kind, intelligent, and caring, and I aspire to be more like them every day.

If you could be an animal, which would you be and why?

A starfish. They get to sit at the beach all day while looking cool.

What did you want to be when you were a child?

I wanted to be a weatherwoman, chasing storms and speaking on the news every morning.
