“Je suis une fille de la campagne”.
This was the first French phrase that Rubin taught me, and it captures the small community mentality I bring wherever I set my roots: if that’s in New York, where I lived for nearly a decade working in education-focused non-profit organizations, or here in the UAE where I work for a global Jewish advocacy organization.
In my spare time I love to exercise outside whenever possible, and when I travel I will always be searching for the best coffee and bakery treats. I love to explore new flavors in my kitchen, which is vegetarian at least until Rubin teaches me to make proper couscous with meat.
