Michal works in the IMW finance department. Her thirst for travel began as a teenager when she lived in the US for three years, so she recently repeated that experience, spending another three years there with her family. After completing her mandatory army service, she volunteered in Africa for two years in a center for rescuing primates. Michal earned a bachelor’s degree in human services and a master’s degree in quality studies, both from Haifa University. She lives in Haifa with her family, and loves to run, work out, and ski.

Favorite Israeli gem

“My most treasured location in Israel is Kochav HaYarden. I love the drive there through the green hills, and I adore the air and beautiful scenery when I arrive. As I walk around the fortress, I travel back in time and can see history coming alive right before my eyes.”
