Part-Time Youth Worker
I am FRS’s part-time youth worker, assisting Maya and the rest of the youth team in delivering programmes for all youth age groups. I grew up in Southport but spent much of my childhood and teenage years at Menorah Synagogue in Manchester, where I went on to be the youth worker between 2016 and 2018.
I have always been an admirer of the FRS community, especially for its dedication to facilitating regular and high-quality youth programmes throughout the year. I have seen this first hand, when I led on Summer Scheme several years ago, and through family members who have worked with the community.
Outside of FRS, I am a full-time PhD student at UCL’s Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies. Whilst this means that I’m always very busy, it also means that I contactable 24/7, so please feel free to get in touch if you ever have any questions!
