Business Coordinator
Keren immediately fell in love with Ramah Nyack when she first discovered camp a couple of years ago. After two summers on staff in Ma’ayan (beading), she was excited to transition to the year-round team, where she works closely with Amy to support the financial management of camp. Keren works on accounts payable, accounts receivable and payroll.
A native Israeli, Keren moved to the U.S. 20 years ago to pursue a career in finance. She earned a BA in Accounting and Business from Brooklyn College, and worked in accounts receivable in M&S Bargain Hunter’s main office, before deciding to focus on raising her family. As a dedicated stay-at-home mom to her three children, Keren became an expert organizer and multitasker! She is thrilled to bring those skills, along with her accounting expertise, to Ramah Nyack.
