Later on, Chani joined the management of the movement and worked as the head of the Leadership Training Program until 2017. Since then, Chani has worked as an English teacher through Teach First Israel. Working in education to create social change is a strong passion of hers, and while she was working as a teacher, she helped form the organization MEGAMA, which serves as a community for LGBT educators across Israel. Chani has a Bachelor’s degree in Education and Political Science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and is currently working on completing her Master’s degree in Education Policy at Tel Aviv University.   Chani currently lives in Tel Aviv with her wife, Adi.
