| Introduction | I am a Hungarian born, Canadian and American dual citizen. I grew up in Canada and after completing two years at McGill University in Montreal, I transferred to the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and graduated from there with a BA in Jewish History and English Literature. I received my MSW (Masters in Social Work) from the Wurzweiler School of Social Work in New York City and also received a certificate from the Washington Square Institute for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. I lived and worked in the New York City area as a social worker in the fields of retardation, mental health, foster care, immigration, alcoholism and addiction. I then moved to Montreal where I have been making my home since 2004. I am the Founder and a Film Producer at AskAbigail Productions which produces high-quality audio/visual programs geared towards anyone looking to inform, instruct or promote visual educational and cultural communications. I am also the Founder and President of The Shalom Foundation for Healing in Community (SFHC) which creates and supports innovative ventures in the visual arts to enhance the Jewish learning environment for Jews and non-Jews of diverse backgrounds. |
