What is your favorite thing
about being a student-athlete at Yeshiva University? |
I love the team dynamic that each team creates. My teammates always look out and care for one another. The support between the teammates really motivates us to push ourselves harder. |
| What Yeshiva University class have you found most beneficial? |
I thoroughly enjoyed Mathew Miller's class called "Reading, writing, blogging: poetry". In it, we learned about different types of poets and poems and create our own blogs to publish said poems. We all commented on each others poems and created a community to better each other's writing styles and learn from one another. This class exposed me to the world of poetry.

What was your greatest
memory as a Yeshiva student-athlete? |
My favorite memory was when I was having a tough day and my teammates came into my room that night and surprised me with a big card and a teddy bear, just to make me feel better. It's still on my bed and I love looking at it every night. |
Who was the most influential
person to you as a child? |
Growing up, my older sister Ester was definitely the most influential in my growth. I looked up to her and learned from her and she was always my role model, paving the road for me to go down it after her. |
Growing up what teacher in school do you remember to have the biggest influence on you? |
I loved my AP Government teacher in senior year of high school. She and I had a great relationship and I learned a lot in her class about my surrounding world. |

In high school, I was very involved in YACHAD and the school play. I played Violet Buregarde in Charlie in the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Alice in Wonderland, and Mrs Potts in Beauty and the Beast. I also volunteered at an old age home and drew and painted a lot in my spare time. |
