A member of RRC’s Communications team, Wendy has extensive experience working with organizations dedicated to social change and social justice, progressive Judaism, and the arts. Wendy leads RRC’s effort to share the depth and breadth of its activities through a range of media. The primary strategist for RRC’s Web 2.0 initiative, she oversaw the launch of RRC’s YouTube Channel and Facebook page and has produced video and audio for on- and offline uses. Her writing appears on the Web site and in publications such as the annual report.

Before joining RRC Wendy wrote the public-advocacy Web site for “A Lion in the House,” an Emmy-award-winning PBS series on pediatric cancer; served as start-up managing editor of breastcancer.org; and helped to create a viral media campaign promoting peace for the American Friends Service Committee. Wendy’s documentary and non-fiction television work has appeared on PBS, WHYY, WYBE, and The Discovery Channel, as well as in film festivals across the country.

Two of her most noteworthy productions are “Passionate Voices: American Jews and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict” (writer/producer/director) and “Daring to Resist: Three Women Face the Holocaust” (writer). In addition to the organizations named above, Wendy has worked with the Mural Arts Program of Philadelphia, the National Clearinghouse for the Defense of Battered Women, and the Bread and Roses Community Fund, among many others.
