About me: I am an animal-loving retired figure skater and true crime junkie. I am a proud Ohio University alum and love learning about and advocating for social justice issues I’m passionate about, specifically wrongful conviction and criminal justice reform. I have a special place in my heart for mish mash soup, Costa Rica and my dog, Athena, named for Athens, Ohio (see “proud OU alum”).
Favorite place for dinner: Peppermint Thai in Pepper Pike
Qualities I’m looking for in a partner: I’m looking for someone who is driven and ambitious about their goals in life and strives to make a difference no matter how small. Someone who is chivalrous, open to trying new things, up for a challenge and can make me laugh.
Turnoffs or deal breakers: A big turnoff for me is lack of communication. I’d rather be told things aren’t working out for you than have to guess.
Kosher or non-kosher dating habits: Not kosher
Celebrity crushes: Noah Kahan, Post Malone and Billie Eilish
Songs I belt in the car: “you should see me in a crown” by Billie Eilish and “False Confidence” by Noah Kahan
Hidden talent: I haven’t done it in a long time, but I have won multiple awards for printmaking.
Favorite Jewish holiday: Purim because it’s a second Halloween and I love dressing up. I also live for chocolate and Nutella hamantaschen and I think they should be added to Insomnia Cookies’ menu year-round.
Last trip to Israel: Birthright during summer 2022.
Favorite part of Jewish Cleveland: The delis (I worked at Jack’s!)
