What is your major, and why did you decide to pursue this degree?
I am double majoring in Biological Sciences and Judaic Studies.  I chose biology because I want to go into a health-related field.  I chose Judaic Studies because I love studying Jewish history, and I was able to pursue that while studying abroad in Israel last year. 

Why did you choose Binghamton University?
I chose Binghamton for many reasons, but the main reasons were the comfort I felt here and the Jewish community.  My parents also met at Binghamton, so that was a big influence, as well.

Where are you from?  Where did you go to high school?
I am from Roslyn Heights, New York, and I went to The Wheatley School.

What do you love about Jewish life on campus?
I love how big and welcoming Jewish life is on campus.  I miss the days of packed Shabbat dinners, because there is really nothing like it.

Do you have any siblings?
I have two sisters, Rachel and Allie.  I also have a dog named Stella!

What is your favorite Jewish food?  
My dad's homemade latkes with applesauce!

What is your favorite food?
My favorite food is mashed potatoes!

What is your favorite Jewish childhood memory?
My favorite Jewish childhood memory is dressing up for Purim with my sisters and going to our synagogue's annual Purim carnival!

What is your favorite Chabad experience?
My favorite Chabad experience has to be Shabbat 1800! It's so great to see such a large community come together to celebrate Shabbat!

What's your favorite lockdown experience?
My favorite lockdown experience was getting my dog, Stella.  She is my best friend and is the perfect addition to our family!
