The environment has always been a passion of mine. I vividly remember, in kindergarten, wondering what happened to all the food that we threw away, and single-use plastic has always seemed illogical to me. So when I heard about the TAU program, I was excited to sign up and take my passion to a new practical and professional level.

I was surprised to learn that, while the program is geared towards an international audience and exposes students to global perspectives, it also includes a healthy dose of a local outlook on environmental and social issues, drawn from the professors' and lecturers' knowledge and expertise of the Israeli ecosystem. Currently, I'm focusing on delivering the best service to my clients so that we can get through this challenging time with the same results and value given at the end of the process. However, I am also working on several personal projects in the sustainability space focused on shaping consumer attitudes, developing accessible products and services, and, overall, making sustainability a mainstay in the residential environment.

My future goal is to do for the home unit and individuals what I currently do for companies and larger organizations. Just like in nature, if all the pieces aren't working together towards the same goal, the goal will never be achieved.

I'm balancing my time among entrepreneurial aspirations, my career, my personal life, and time for surfing!
Long-term, I'm hoping to play a part in the sustainable startup revolution, meaning the future of the high-tech world that is driving towards helping more people achieve economic and social equality, as well as environmental good and shared value.
