This is where her enthusiasm for all things adventurous and outdoors were fostered. After highschool she spent the year in Israel, learning at Midreshet Tehillah on the Neve Campus in Har Nof.

Margaux got her start in Jewish education as a Madricha in Israel for Jinternships in the summer of 2018 and has been active in working with students from all backgrounds and levels since! She gained a lot more experience working and traveling with students as a madricha for Yehudi of Miami with college students and young professionals on many of their educational trips abroad.

Her passions include: traveling, music, and reading. She is passionate about learning about different cultures and food around the world! She has worked professionally in cooking and baking and loves art and photography as well.
