Hey everyone! I’m Ariana and I’m excited to be one of the NEJS UDRs! I look forward to meeting you and answering your questions! A bit about me: I am a junior from Cherry Hill, NJ. Besides NEJS, I am also majoring in Environmental Studies with a minor in Hebrew. In my “free” time, I am the Social Events Coordinator for the Brandeis Orthodox Organization (BOO), I work for the office of Admissions, and I also teach 5th grade at the Boston-Area Jewish Education Program (BJEP). I really like NEJS and I hope that you will too! Get psyched for a great year!
