MY STORY

Since childhood, I've possessed two defining qualities: an insatiable curiosity to comprehend the inner workings of things, and a fearless attitude to confront challenges head-on.
My journey commenced with a role as a youth coordinator with the TLV municipality, then transitioned into marketing, eventually leading me to excel in media planning. Through these roles, I honed my skills in campaign strategizing and understanding customer needs, among other valuable insights.
Yet, amidst my professional growth, I felt a growing itch of curiosity. This compelled me to revisit my childhood dream of creating games.
Shortly after, I took the leap and enrolled in a Mentor game development course. Initially hesitant about my coding abilities, I found myself immersed in the world of programming and game development, thanks to the unwavering support of my mentors and peers. The prospect of perpetual learning and constant challenges excited me.
With the right mindset and opportunity, my journey took a fortuitous turn when one of my teachers offered me my first role as a game developer. From that moment on, there was no looking back.
Today, I am immersed in crafting gamified learning experiences at Zbenko Studios while simultaneously sharing my passion for game development and programming as an instructor at Mentor—the place where it all began.
