About Me

Name: Ilana Yael
Occupation: Customer Service and Membership at the Levine Jewish Community Center

More about Me: I am Ilana Yael Valinsky, and I hail from Pittsburgh, PA, but moved to Charlotte after spending four years in NC for college. I consider myself a quasi-Southerner. As far as the what the future holds, I'm studying for the GRE and hope to attend grad school for Public Policy. Right now, I'm just a normal 24-year-old girl with high hopes and expectations, bad hair days, and funny dating stories. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you all.
Favorite Music: Everything from The Beatles to Timbaland, John Mayer to Sugarland. As long as I have my tunes, I am set.
Favorite Books and Writers: Anything by David Sedaris; poetry by Alan Shapiro; all of Mireille Guiliano's works
I can't live without: the gym or hot yoga.
I am most proud of: Graduating from Davidson College with a B.A. in English. Upon graduation, I set up shop in Charlotte (I'm originally from Pittsburgh), and I now live in Eastover.
I am most guilty of: Phew...texting until my thumbs are numb, listening to my music too loudly as I drive around town, indulging in chocolate, and being overly sarcastic.
Words I live by: Quite a few good sayings... "the love you take is equal to the love you make." - The Beatles; "What is the quality you most like in a woman? High-spiritedness, wit, a love of repartee and wordplay and allusion and jokes--in other words, an English major."
-Garrison Keillor; "The most beautiful makeup on a woman is passion, but cosmetics are easier to buy." -Yves Saint Laurent; "Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted." -John Lennon;
The world would be a better place, if only: we learned to enjoy life a bit more.
