Social Media Maven Chaviva Galatz was born in Missouri, bred in Nebraska, and currently hails from Teaneck, NJ, by way of Washington D.C., Chicago, and Connecticut. With a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Chaviva worked as a copy editor for The Washington Post, after which she moved to Chicago to work for a Nobel-prize-winning economist at the University of Chicago. While there, she honed her Social Media skills through her blog, Twitter, Facebook, and other web platforms. Then, halfway across the country, from 2008-2010 Chaviva worked toward and obtained an M.A. in Judaic Studies from the University of Connecticut. Now, she is a Jim Joseph Fellow in NYU’s Dual M.A. program for Education/Jewish Studies and Hebrew/Judaic Studies. (Yes, that will be three master’s degrees!) Her passion is Social Media in the classroom and Hebrew Language Education, and having first started learning Hebrew in 2006, she’s got her work cut out for her. When not consulting on Social Media and operating blogs, Facebook Pages, and Twitter accounts for The Partnership for Jewish Learning and Life of Metrowest’s three day schools, Chaviva is dominating and collaborating with other Jewish educators and Social Media evangelists.
