I attended Herzliah Snowdon from 1985-1989. After graduating, I attended Vanier College where I studied Commerce and then earned a Bachelor of Art in Film and Communications from McGill University. I have spent my career in new media and technology, living in New York City, and acted as the General Manager for Weight Watchers Canada before launching my own business Single Edition Media, which is a lifestyle company which focuses on all aspects of single living.
As for memorable Herzliah moments, there were so many of them. From Mrs. Adesky pushing me to compete against grade 9, 10, 11 in the public speaking competition when I was in the seventh grade to performing in the variety and fashion shows though never as a dancer! Trips to Israel, Stratford Ontario, crazy shabbatons and lunches in Plattsburgh, are always fond memories as are ski nights and the inter-school dances. Ultimately, is was the teachers, students and a Jewish education which made a lasting impression and shaped me as an individual and continue to do so each day. Sincerely, Sherri Langburt Click here to read more...
