Originally from Ohio, I moved to New York City just over two years ago from Jerusalem, Israel to attend college. I’m studying towards a major in physics and astronomy at the Macaulay Honors College Program at the City College of New York. It is my dream to one day, hopefully not too far in the future, study the mysteriously vague first few nanoseconds of our universe. However, I also have a (not so) secret love of black holes and their conundrums and I may abandon the search for our early universe in favor of quantum-relativity speculation. I love living in this vibrant city, and I look forward to learning more about the people who have contributed their passions, hopes, and unique perspectives to create a truly multicultural and cosmopolitan city.
