Tamara Listenberg

Tamara is a 23-year-old Israeli student pursuing a major in International Relations at American University (AU) in Washington, DC. She was born in Israel but spent most of her childhood in London where her family relocated when she was just 7. At 15, she returned to Israel to reunite with her siblings who were serving in the IDF, and later joined an elite intelligence unit herself. Tamara is proud to represent her country and strives to create a positive image of Israel. She founded the Students Supporting Israel club at her university to foster a confident pro-Israel community. Her efforts were recognized when she won a student leadership award from AU's Meltzer Schwartzberg Center for Israel Studies. Tamara has also interned for the Embassy of Israel in Washington and the Israeli Mission to the UN in NY.
