She had the privilege of working at the Alper JCC preschool for six years when she first moved to the United States and soon the JCC became a second home for her and her two children. Her children came to the preschool with her, assisted in the afterschool care program daily, and enjoyed summer camp every summer. She will always be grateful for the wonderful opportunity that the JCC gave for her and her family to come to this country. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, walking, and cooking.
