Camp Shelanu Director
I am so thrilled to be back as the camp director for Camp Shelanu for the second year! I have been active in the CBI community for about eight years, as a hadracha, camp counselor, and Religious School teacher. I am happy to return to camp for my seventh summer, bringing Judaism, adventure, community, and most importantly fun to new and returning campers.
When I am not at camp, I live in Los Angeles where I have just graduated California State University, Northridge. I received my BA in Child and Adolescent Development, and will be receiving my teaching credentials this summer – I hope to have my own classroom by this fall. In my free time I love hanging out with friends, cooking, going to the beach, and spending lots of time in nature finding new hiking trails and campsites to visit.
