Where Data Meets Athletic Instinct

My career sits at the rare intersection of rigorous data science and lived athletic experience. As a former professional volleyball player in the Israeli Super League and an M.A. holder in Social Psychology with a specialization in Sport Psychology, I bring both analytical precision and psychological depth to every initiative.

Currently driving innovation at the Wingate Institute, Israel's national sports center, I help establish new frameworks where technology, research, and sport converge to create measurable impact.
