Age: 27
Hometown: Beachwood
Synagogue: Chabad of Downtown Cleveland, though I attend holidays with my family at Park Synagogue in Pepper Pike
Work: Attorney at KeyBank
About me: I strive to be authentic in all that I do and give others the benefit of the doubt. I pride myself on my resiliency, wit and passion for justice. I’m quick to laugh, curious about the world and most at ease when hiking in the woods. By day, I enjoy completing New York Times puzzles. After a night at the theater, conquering bar trivia or cheering on a Cleveland sports team, I curl up with my pets and read or write. My family and friends are indispensable characters in my own story, and like any strong heroine, I yearn for adventure.
Qualities I’m looking for in a partner: I seek someone funny, intelligent, kind and thoughtful, who is willing to take a stand for what he believes in. He should value Judaism and family, be a good communicator and listener, love being active and spending time outdoors, and just as comfortable staying in as he is going out.
Turnoffs or deal breakers: Passive aggressiveness, lack of ambition and curiosity, inability to laugh at themselves and be silly, closed-mindedness, lack of self-awareness, not an animal-lover and not wanting kids.
Kosher or non-kosher dating habits: Not kosher
Celebrity crushes: Henry Cavill, Adam Driver, Harrison Ford, Paul Rudd and Ben Barnes. Beyond their looks, I like that they all are philanthropic, can make me laugh and keep their personal lives relatively private.
At a Jewish wedding you’d find me… Barefoot and smiling as I kill it on the dance floor. Although when I inevitably take a break to catch my breath, you’ll find me sitting off to the side with family, enjoying company, conversation and a slice of cake.
Favorite bat mitzvah memory: Not my favorite, but my most memorable: My two older brothers and I dressed up and videoed ourselves doing Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” dance. It turned into the silly “Saturday Night Live” version with Justin Timberlake, the dogs were barking in the background and we all laughed so much.
