“I’m a passionate believer in our common humanity and love working with young people to explore identity, belonging and diversity. I hope that, through our work, young people can develop a better understanding of people from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds. I know I have! 

I come from a Russian-Jewish, Southern USA background but have lived in Australia for most of my life. My parents were social justice activists in the Civil Rights movement in the USA and I inherited their passion.”

Hi, my name is Yana. I am Jewish, born in USSR and raised in Israel, a wonderful combination  I believe in fusion, diversity and “live and let live!” I am excited to be a part of this wonderful team and deliver workshops that offer different outlooks on multiculturalism and creates opportunities for students to explore, question and better understand the mixture of society.
