Biography

Witnessing the beauty—and fragility—of coral reefs during dives impressed upon me the urgency of climate action. So I pursued a degree in Sustainability and Economics at Reichman University, joining the Economics Honors Program and the Aviram Climate Program. I became the first student in my faculty to publish peer-reviewed research before graduation, co-authoring a paper in a Nature Portfolio journal on using Digital Twins for ocean conservation. In parallel, I gained practical experience at a climatetech startup and a venture capital fund, which led me to recognize that technological solutions alone are insufficient without addressing institutional barriers to action. After graduation, I consulted for financial institutions on managing climate-related risks, deepening my understanding of the economic impacts of climate change. Currently, I am a researcher at two institutes in Israel, focusing on energy security and natural resources. Through my upcoming MPhil in Economic Research, I aim to explore the macroeconomic effects of climate change. Leveraging my experiences in academia, the private sector, and policy research, I aspire to produce actionable and accessible research. I am incredibly honoured to join the Gates community.
