I am a Junior at Hume Fogg Academic High School in the heart of Music City, and I am currently serving as the NFTY OV Regional SAVP. When I am not at NFTY events, I am working hard at Trader Joe’s, chasing my puppy Gus, eating cookies and cream ice cream, and going on fun outdoor adventures with friends. NFTY OV has been my family since I was in sixth grade, and I cannot wait to step up as a leader and give back to the community that has given so much to me.
