What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead international programs, strategic partnerships, and cross-sector initiatives that connect government, nonprofit, and international stakeholders.

At Sharaka, I lead cross-border initiatives and manage high-profile international delegations from end to end, connecting international partners with local stakeholders.

I’ve managed U.S.-Israel relations at the Ministry of Defense, producing strategic briefs and coordinating policy engagement with the U.S. Department of State. Previously, at Mitvim and the IAF International Affairs Branch, I researched regional foreign policy and delivered multinational conferences and strategic engagements for senior military leaders.

I bring operational leadership from commanding soldiers in Iron Dome units, alongside public-facing diplomacy through FIDF fundraising delegations. I work fluently in Hebrew and English and am completing an M.A. in Middle East Studies.
