I was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, and immigrated to Israel in early 1991. From an early age, I have been interested in the Middle East and Arabic language and culture. After completing my army service, I moved to Jerusalem to pursue undergraduate studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in history and Middle Eastern Studies, followed in 2012 by a master's degree, also from the Hebrew University.

Since 2008, I have worked in various academic and administrative positions at the Hebrew University, focusing on the administration of collaborative, large-scale research projects. Since 2020, I have been the administrative director of the Jacob Robinson Institute for the History of Individual and Collective Rights, founded by the Alfred Landekcer Foundation.
