Riv has been immersed in the Jewish non-profit world throughout their whole life, both personally and professionally, from being a day schooler and a camp kid all the way through working as a Program & Grants Manager at a New York foundation.

Riv holds their Bachelor of Arts from the Yeshiva University in New York. These days, they live in upper Manhattan with a roommate, many dying-but-not-dead-yet plants, and a blanket-fort in progress.

In their spare time, Riv likes to write, drink too much coffee, and try out new recipes for Shabbat while belting out Taylor Swift lyrics.
