She is interested in combating social injustices and ignorance with education, specifically Israel and Holocaust education to combat antisemitism. “As a Jewish teen in high school and in the 21st century, it is hard to believe the plentiful amount of antisemitism, ignorance, and bigotry still present today. Silence just leads to the continuation of the same false information and ignorance we see today, making it important to stand up, speak the truth, and speak about what is right and wrong in this world today. Then, figuring out, with this institute for example, what we can do to fix it.”
