I am a researcher in the sociology of education and education policy, with experience in qualitative and quantitative methods. My research interests focus on the intersections between education, policy, inequality and place. During my studies I have worked as a teaching assistant in graduate-level courses, a research assistant in multiple projects and as the coordinator of the Unit of Sociology of Education and the Community at Tel-Aviv University.

I believe academic work should be accompanied by social commitment. Therefore, I volunteered in the Students’ Union and continually seek opportunities to make the world a better place.
