Faculty of Medicine

About myself: I was born in 1993 and grew up in Rehovot. I graduated from “Aharon Katzir” High School, majoring in chemistry and physics. During high school, I also participated in the “Computational Science” program at the Weizmann Institute of Science.

I served in the IDF for 6 years as a programmer, most of which I spent as an officer and team leader in several technological units. During this time, I met amazing people and learned a lot about myself.

I have always been interested in learning and understanding “how things work”, from everyday physics to the human body and mind. I am looking forward to learning many things from various angles and combining them to hopefully benefit our society in some way.

Hobbies and other activities: I have always loved animals, and horses in particular. I have been riding and taking care of horses since I was little. I love to cook and bake, and watch comedies and comedians. I love to travel and experience different cultures, and enjoy the company of friends, family, and new interesting people 🙂

When did you start the program: Winter 2018.
