Hi,
I have been guiding since the year 2006.
The first professional course I had ever taken in the field was in 'yad vashem' that gave me the initial tools to be a great tour guide. This extensive course about the holocaust made me extremely knowledgeable about this period of time and also to fall in love in guiding people.
After working for five years in yad vashem with various and heterogeneous groups I had decided to professionalize in the field and to be a licensed tour guide by the ministry of tourism. The 2 years course gave me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge about the amazing history of the land of Israel and also to understand that this is my calling.
During the tourist guide course I also did a master of arts degree in the land of Israel studies that was granted by the university of Haifa. This master of arts degree had broadened my knowledge base to an ever greater extent. In the future I plan to do my doctoral degree that would focus on the period of the British mandate in Israel.
