Bio

I have been a part of the CBI community with my husband Craig and our family since 2019. Our young daughters are enthusiastic participants in ALMA and Shabbat Shabloom, and we enjoy growing our Shared Abundance Garden in our yard in South Hadley each year. Most recently I have been a member of the Personnel Committee, the Rabbinic Search Committee, and the Executive Director Search Committee. I am a Jewish communal professional by trade, currently working at the Union for Reform Judaism, with a MA in Religious Education from Hebrew Union College. I am a big champion of Jewish education and immersive experiences like camp, having worked for many summers at several Jewish camps in the Northeast. As a member of the CBI board, I hope to contribute to a CBI’s organizational health including financial sustainability, and bring my professional experience with congregations to strengthen our governance and leadership pipeline.
