I made Aliyah to Israel in July 2009 from South Africa. Since then, I have written many articles and content for websites, edited supplements and website copy, and more.

In South Africa, I owned my own publishing and public relations company for six years and produced many magazines and brochures for various clients, wrote website content, took photographs, among other things. See more detailed CV below.
