“I didn’t really internalize that I was a capital ‘W’ Woman until I started working in Sports, when I was made viscerally aware of it in myriad ways. At times, it means having my expertise questioned and opportunities ghettoized, but it also sharpens my senses and understanding of the disparity and potential for change, including how vital the Capital ‘M’ Men are to making it happen.

“For me, the goal is for women to exist equitably in all the spaces men do without the need to ‘champion’ them specifically. Until that happens, propelling the momentum for open doors, laudable representation and equal opportunities is ongoing.

“The propensity for questioning things, operating from an empathic perspective, and taking action for what is right (even if it’s hard) are ingrained Jewish values I take into my work on a daily basis.”
