About Me

I am a highly driven informal educator and experienced content editor with a proven track record in transcription, proofreading, and project management. I have led the creation of high-quality Torah publications, managed educational projects for national audiences, and worked extensively in editing and preparing Torah content for publication. Organised, reliable, and passionate about sharing Torah through both print and digital media, I look forward to applying these skills upon my Aliyah to Jerusalem in August 2025.
