I was born in Tel Aviv and grew up in Rishon LeZion. I served in the Israeli military as a field observer and moved to the United States in 1996. I have been married to Yitzhak for 27 years, and we are the parents of five children, four sons and one daughter. Our three oldest children made Aliyah to Israel, served in the Israeli military in combat roles, and later returned to the United States. Our two youngest, ages 13 and 14, are still in middle school and high school.

Over the years, my husband and I have established several businesses. Today, we own a small construction company specializing in concrete work, I studied ultrasound technology, paralegal, and construction.

I am an active participant in San Diego’s Tsufim Shavet Galim board, Mamanet community, and I also enjoy playing pickleball and Israeli folk dancing. For many years, I thought we would eventually return to live in Israel. However, as the years passed, I came to understand that San Diego is my home. As a result, becoming involved in the community and helping bring the community together has become an increasingly meaningful and important part of my life.
