Do you have a hobby? Why do you love it?
I love to sing and dance, particularly contemporary dance and hip hop. I enjoy song and dance because I am talented in those areas and I have been engaged in those areas for years in and out of school so they come naturally to me. I also love performing which allows me to showcase my skills to audiences.

What is your favorite Jewish food? 
My favorite Jewish food is k’rah. It’s a Sephardic dish of meat stuffed zucchini that my Savta makes every Rosh Hashana for the B’rachot and it is absolutely delicious!

What is your favorite food?
I have a lot of favorite foods, so it’d be hard to choose just one, but I’ll start with pretty much any type of pasta; I love pasta, especially my homemade Baked Ziti or the Penne alla Vodka from my favorite restaurant. I also LOVE pizza. The last thing I’ll mention is any home cooked vegetable, my mom is the best chef. 

What's your favorite Jewish holiday and why?
My favorite holiday is Pesach. I am sephardic, so I’m able to enjoy kitneot; I love the stories and songs as well as our unique Sephardic customs. I am also a night person, so being able to spend quality time with my family while being in my element is very nice. 

If you were a breakfast cereal, which one would you be and why?
If I were a breakfast cereal, I would be Honey Bunches of Oats because, like the cereal, I have many components of which I am made up; each element is unique and important in their own way and contributes something different to the whole and are all flavorful.

What's a quote or saying that you like?
“If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change.” It’s from a Michael Jackson song and I find it true almost always. I also love quoting Brooklyn Nine Nine and can pretty much reference any line word for word.

What is your favorite Jewish childhood memory?
My favorite Jewish childhood memory was probably my bat mitzvah. I love the celebration of taking on the mitzvot and the purely joyous occasion it was. I like the idea of a person being celebrated in the context of the Torah. It is a beautiful thing. 

What makes you proud to be a Jew?
I think the real question is what doesn’t make me proud to be a Jew. I love everything about being a Jew and take pride in every aspect! What makes me the most proud to be a Jew is the community and how one is ever alone. I love that whether you are in Israel, America, Canada, or any other place, that our first step is always to find the Jewish community and/or reach out to the Chabad. The stories and philosophy of Judaism are particularly interesting to me and demonstrate how much we’ve overcome as a people.
