About Me

Innovating for Impact

I am an educational leader and technologist dedicated to architecting scalable digital learning ecosystems. Currently based in Cambridge, MA, I am pursuing my Master's in Education Leadership, Organizations, and Entrepreneurship at Harvard University while cross-registered at MIT D-Lab.

My work engages with interdisciplinary challenges, designing sustainable energy solutions for resource-constrained environments like rural Argentina and Cameroon. I leverage over 13 years of experience—ranging from serving as a School Principal in Jerusalem, to humanitarian ICT support with the ICRC, and EdTech design at Harvard.

Whether enforcing information security protocols in volatile environments, deploying multi-campus networks, or pioneering data-driven equity initiatives, my focus remains on tangible impact and operational resilience.
