“Ever since I was a young child, I have believed that one of my goals was to make a difference. Now, every time I volunteer, no matter the forum, I am making that difference, in some capacity. UJA has provided me the opportunity to fulfill that goal, while making a difference in the Jewish community in Toronto and abroad. There is no bigger kavod than that.​”​

Her participation in the Diller Teen Fellowship program has helped her to build on her leadership skills through hands-on experience, and has strengthened her commitment to Israel and her desire to contribute to the Jewish community here in Toronto.
