About me!
Background
I am Israeli-American and speak both English and Hebrew fluently. My family and I moved to Maryland before the age of one and I grew up there until I moved to Philadelphia for college.
My Interests
I am passionate about design, technology, volunteering, marine preservation, photography, and traveling the world.
My favorite activities are snorkeling and SCUBA diving. I’ve always loved the ocean and learned how to snorkel with floaties when I was two years old! I obtained my first SCUBA certification when I was twelve years old and obtained my advanced certification when I was sixteen years old. I now have more than thirty-five dives.
I volunteered at two organizations throughout high school. I volunteered as a kids counselor in the Tzofim Tzabar, a youth movement for Israeli, Hebrew speaking children. I also volunteered as a swim coach at the Gudelsky Exceptional Swim Program. As a coach, I provided aqua-therapy to children and young adults with physical disabilities and cognitive impairments. In addition, I always played sports growing up and mostly did gymnastics, swimming, and volleyball.
Career
I began exploring UX/UI as a Junior in high school by working as a UX/UI Design intern at Product Savvy Consulting Firm for a year. The majority of my work led to the development of my Figma skills. Additionally, I held a two month summer UX/UI Design internship at GenLogs from June to August 2024. In this position, I focused greatly on UX, as I met with customers and gathered feedback multiple times each day. I also assisted with design mockups for the product’s UI.
I am currently a User Experience and Interaction Design major at Drexel University. So far I have developed additional skills like UI design, Adobe Suite artmaking, prototyping, and product ideation!
