In real life I…am an Ophthalmic Technician for Somerville Hospital, which means that I perform eye exams on patients and work with eye doctors at a public hospital.  I enjoy snowboarding, surfing, hiking, playing all sports, and dancing to 90’s music. Mostly I work with Bitterman in coordinating TEAM huddle outbursts and often try to make our coaches and quiet teammates feel uncomfortably comfortable in the best way possible.

My greatest irrational fear is: batman…

When I was 9 years old I decided that I wanted to be the first white female jewish rapper and memorized all the lyrics to Coolio’s gangsters paradise.
