My name is Lauren Reiser and I am a third-year in the McIntire School of Commerce concentrating in Finance and Management. I am excited about being a Jewish Studies Fellow to expand my Jewish network at UVA and learn from leading scholars and professors. I really enjoyed my Modern Jewish History class last semester and hope to continue finding new ways to engage with Judaism in an academic environment. Outside of the classroom, I like to travel, play piano, practice Spanish, go to the gym, and watch movies.
