Emily Weiss

The Jewish Federation was so fortunate to have Sophie as an intern this past summer for our college outreach pilot program. She has natural marketing and event planning instincts that helped our program grown larger than we expected in a short time. She is easy to work with, responsible and follows through and cares about the end result. Hope she will come back this summer!

Sophie has been an incredible asset to our JDo Connect initiative. Its success in very large part is due to her vision and leadership, team-building, creativity and initiative, and her excellent time management and interpersonal skills. JDo Connect would not be where it is without Sophie, and we certainly would not have the reach we have without her marketing and technology skills. Anyone willing to provide Sophie with an opportunity will NOT be disappointed.
