Currently I am a second year law student at UC Davis King Hall School of Law. As an undergraduate I studied political science with an emphasis on issues of immigration, human rights and multilateral diplomacy. I minored in religious studies. I supplemented these studies with numerous extra-curricular experiences. For example, during my junior year, I participated in an alternative spring break in Honduras tasked with assisting a rural community to complete construction of a water system. After completing my undergraduate degree I was selected as a fellow with “Humanity in Action” and given the opportunity to embark on a 6 week study of minority issues in Denmark. I have traveled extensively throughout diverse countries such as: Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, China, Australia, Israel, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Germany, Czech Republic, Guatemala, Canada, Costa Rica and Honduras. I speak Hebrew fluently.   The Roosevelt Institution is a nonpartisan, nonprofit national think tank devoted to bringing students' policy ideas to the policy process.
