I was born, raised, and educated in Buenos Aires. Regarding my Jewish education, I attended the elementary school Bet-El, which belongs to the congregation of the same name, founded by Rabbi Marshall Meyer, who also created the Seminario Rabínico Latinoamericano, where I continued my Judaic studies at the Solomon Shechter Institute. After studying at the University of Tel Aviv for a year, I came back to Argentina where I graduated as a Psychologist from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). After years of working in the Human Resources department of several multinational companies, I felt the need to do something that fully represented who I am: a person deeply in love with Argentina and passionate about my Judaism. My great-grandparents arrived from Syria over one hundred years ago. My family history and my passion for showing that which I love, let me work as a tour guide in Buenos Aires. On a personal note, I would like to thank my beloved parents for providing me with the finest education; my teachers that taught me to think for myself regardless of the circumstances, which was not an easy task considering that I grew up during a dictatorship. Furthermore, I want to thank my clients, who challenge me every day, allowing me to discover that there is always something new to learn and show. I am a certified tour guide by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires. Psychologist (University of Buenos Aires). I have no restrictions.
