I’d like to think I’ve been unconventional all my life - both in nature and through nurture. I like taking the road less traveled and do so with intention.
I've been encouraged to travel alone since I was seven. Going to camp not knowing anybody, traveling to Israel for the first time as a fifteen year old with a brother, Rabbi, 6 Catholic kids and 6 Jewish kids, switching to a Quaker high school to learn around a round table, traveling alone on and off for two years, moving to Mexico not speaking Spanish or knowing a single person. When I get comfortable, I create situations that allow me to be uncomfortable and grow through meeting new people. My community in NYC is strong. I live in a sisterhood that I treasure and I think my ability to get up and go inspires my friends to do the same in different capacities in their lives.
