Niva Ashkenazi

I am an Israeli-American freelance writer and editor based in San Francisco, currently preparing to join The Jewish News of Northern California as a general assignment reporter. In addition to covering news relevant to Jewish Californians across the state, I am eager to explore stories that illuminate the connections between the local Jewish community and the broader Bay Area public.

My most recent freelance work has been published in The J., and I have also contributed to The Seattle Globalist, The Seattle Lesbian, and the literary zine Off Menu Press.
