Brief Biography: 

Israeli lawyer and social worker by profession (LL.M, BSW), serve as the Director of Policy international Affairs and Development in Enosh – The Israeli Mental Health Association. My professional career began at the Israeli Supreme Court, where I served as a legal clerk, and at the Israeli Ministry of Justice, where I worked in the counseling and legislation department. I am involved in the Israeli civil society, mainly in the area of rights of people with disabilities and community mental health.

I am active in academic legal writing and her papers on social rights have been published in leading law journals in Israel.
