A Bit About Me
I am 24 years old and I am an events coordinator and photographer based in Brooklyn, NY. Prior to that I was an Events Manager with a dual focus in Tourism Operations at Via Sabra. I coordinated trips across Israel introducing my clients to the lively alleys of Shuk Machane Yehuda, the high hills of the HaCarmel mountains, and the welcoming homes of Druze villages. I very much enjoy facilitating experiences for others, and photography is my most treasured tool. I am currently working on a passion project documenting the dynamic communities of New York City. I hope to capture your next beautiful simcha!
