Our Ambassadors

Emily is an American-born Chinese from Southern California. Her multicultural background in languages includes studying Spanish at The Webb Schools, where she will be graduating in 2023, Hebrew at LA Hebrew High School, and practicing Chinese at home. She explores her curiosities through traveling – journeying from the Himalayas to the Dead Sea and venturing to Israel for two summers, reading women’s literature, and watching movies. After watching Schindler’s List and Yentl at a young age, Emily developed an academic interest in Jewish culture. She hopes to contribute to a diverse community through ELEM.

Julia is a rising senior at the Webb Schools in Claremont, California. She devotes her time to her schoolwork, sports (cross country, soccer, and track), and supporting local music communities by working at a nearby music venue. As a life-long resident of southern California, she hopes to contribute to the ELEM team by creating opportunities for involvement in and connection with the cause within her local west coast communities.

Francesca is a Filipino-American student at The Webb Schools whose interests include immersing herself in the French language and culture, reading and watching Jewish literature and films, and playing different sports. Her interest in the Jewish culture stems from reading her favorite books The Book Thief and Schindler’s List. Through ELEM, Francesca hopes to make an impact in Israeli children’s lives while simultaneously learning more about Israeli lifestyles and culture. In the future, Francesca wants to visit Israel for the first time.
