Naomi is a senior at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania. She is majoring in psychology and working towards her teaching certificate for grades pre-k through 4. Throughout her time in college, Naomi has enjoyed becoming more politically active through participation in BergVotes, Muhlenberg’s non-partisan voter registration and education club, as well as her campus’s chapter of College Democrats, serving on exec-board as social media chair for a year. Aside from this, Naomi has gained a great deal from her involvement in Hillel, including a semester spent participating in Hillel International’s Israel Leadership Network. Her summers as a camper at a pluralistic Jewish summer camp, many Shabbats spent at Muhlenberg’s Hillel, and, most recently, her experience on the Nachshon Project, has reaffirmed for her the importance of pluralism in the Jewish community. Among many things, she is grateful to Nachshon for the tools it has given her to engage in conversation with those different from herself.
