I am an interventional cardiologist with a deep interest in new and advanced cardiovascular innovation, always guided by the goal of delivering better and safer patient care. Most of my adult life has unfolded around science and technology – from clinical medicine to biotechnology and artificial intelligence.

Writing began for me as a professional necessity, a tool for growth, precision, and communication. Over time, it evolved into something broader and more personal. My writing expanded across different styles and voices, allowing me to move between exact science and evidence-based thinking, and a more creative, visionary space where ideas are explored rather than proven.

Along this journey, my family joined me in the passion for storytelling. Together, we published children’s books as "Emma and Ilay Relocation" and "Corona Macarona in a Journey Around the World" (Hebrew). For me, this was a rare opportunity to step into their world, one that taught me how to write with simplicity, empathy, and imagination, and how powerful stories can be when they are shaped for young minds.

More recently, my writing has turned toward biography and theatre. I have become increasingly drawn to human stories of identity, resilience, and transformation. My latest theatre script, The Boxer’s Story – How I Survived the Nazi Camp, explores history through a deeply human perspective. It is a true story shaped by tragedy, resilience, love, and compassion, woven with inner conflict and renewal – a reflection on discipline, struggle, vulnerability, and the quiet moments that define who we become when the fight is over.

You never know where love will take you – so at the very least, buckle up and enjoy the ride.
