About me.

I'm an undergraduate studying psychology, cognitive science, and computer science in the Dual Degree Program with Tel Aviv University and Columbia University, with a focus on human-AI interaction and cognitive computing — specifically how AI systems internalize, replicate, and are vulnerable to the same psychological biases that shape human thinking.

Outside of that, I love seeing and trying new things; whether that's dancing, cooking, rowing (something I recently picked up), or finding new ways to think about the systems we build and the world we're leaving behind. I care deeply about sustainability, and that thread runs through both my work and the way I travel. I've been to over 20 countries, from Japan and South Korea to Georgia, El Salvador, and Australia, and I'm not done yet.

Most importantly, I like to make things: videos, meals, projects, and plans that fall apart and get remade over and over.

A little bit about my gap year -

After high school, I ditched the traditional path and took a gap year to explore the world - and it completely changed me. In just one semester, I backpacked through 7 countries across Europe, hit 3 cities in Australia, and explored 3 cities in Thailand, collecting experiences (and lifelong friends) along the way. The second semester slowed things down in the best way: I lived in Japan, studying at a language school and immersing myself in a culture unlike anything I'd ever known.
