BYU Jerusalem/Israel Life

I was a BYU Jerusalem study abroad student in the summer of 2013. I loved it and couldn't stay away from Israel for long!

From 2014-2015, I spent about 1.5 years living in Haifa, Israel for graduate school. I worked towards an M.A. in Holocaust Studies at the University of Haifa.


Both were great experiences, and I really fell in love with the country of Israel. Here is a selection of posts about my travels, adventures, and experiences living in the Holy Land.
