About Talia.

Talia grew up in Natick, Massachusetts. The daughter of a rabbi and a lawyer, and the middle of five children, she learned at a young age the art of escapism through writing. Talia graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 2006 with a BA in Sociology and a minor in Film Studies. She has spent her career in Communications, and holds a certification in Public Relations from Rutgers University School of Communication and Information.

Talia is the Digital Editor & Social Media Manager at Hadassah Magazine and was previously the Social Media Manager at Hadassah, an organization with over 330,000 members. Before that, she was the Director of Communications for a large synagogue on NYC's Upper West Side, where she helped run the reputable, longstanding literary series, Scribblers on the Roof. As a social media consultant, Talia specializes in helping non-profit organizations and changemakers reach their goals.

In her personal writing, Talia often focuses on topics that relate to women and Judaism. She writes openly about issues that have personally affected her, such as her battle with infertility, her close encounter with death due to placenta previa, and her second son's premature birth. Her work has appeared in many national publications, as well as in Jewish papers all across the country. As an editor, she specializes in creative nonfiction and memoir. Talia lives in Essex County, New Jersey with her husband, Gabriel, and their two sons.
