About myself: I was born in 1994 in Haifa, where I grew up.
After graduating from high school, I joined the intelligence corps for 3.5 years, doing cybersecurity research. This amazing experience has taught me that there is no such thing as 'impossible'!
I have various fields of interest , from physics to biology and computer science.

Hobbies and other activities: I love sports, especially swimming, running and basketball.
I also enjoy reading, cinema, theater, museums and learning new things (everything!).
