My past decade was dedicated to Israel's public and non-profit sectors yielding particular interest in economic development, foreign affairs and conflict resolution. Through military service in a combat unit of the IDF, I was taught lessons in balancing professional demands with a feel for human emotions. After released with distinction and in order to expand on this lesson at the policy making level, I pursued a B.A. in Government at the Interdisciplinary-Center Herzliya from which I graduated summa cum laude. In recent years I held positions at CAF as a focus group moderator, seeking to promote social pluralism in Israel, the Abba Eban Chair in International Diplomacy as a research assistant, and at Local Government Economic Services LTD as a district inspector. I later returned to IDC as an alumni and manager of the Argov Fellows Honors Program in Leadership and Diplomacy which trains top students for key leadership positions.
