I write books for young readers that celebrate Jewish values. My debut board book Todah, I Am Grateful and picture book Habima Magic will be released by Kar-Ben Publishing in 2026 and 2027. My middle-grade novels are inspired by my family’s history and explore themes of identity, immigration, and home. They feature young female protagonists who come from outside Israel and find themselves immersed in contemporary or historical Israeli society. Through navigating the differences, they discover inner strength, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
My work has appeared in The Times of Israel, The Australian Jewish News, and various anthologies.
When I am not busy writing, I am a guide at ANU the Museum of the Jewish People helping visitors connect to the history, culture, religion, traditions, and diversity of Jewish experience. I also lead the Am Yisrael Chai Children’s Book Project, which I launched in response to the tragic events of October 7, with the goal of expanding access to children’s books about Israel.
I was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, and spent nine years in San Francisco before settling in Israel with my husband and three sons. I hold a Bachelor of Visual Arts, a Master’s degree in Design, and an MBA—a multidisciplinary background that enriches my work across storytelling, education, and media. This diverse experience includes co-founding an animation production company in Tel Aviv.
