About Me

Hi, I’m Eden! I grew up in NYC/New Jersey but am originally from Tel Aviv, Israel. I recently graduated from Boston University with a B.S. in Journalism and Art History from the College of Communications. 

During my last year in Boston I reported for BU Today, Boston University's local news service, where I worked with production to start a new music column called BU Soundcheck. I also served as the Public Relations Chair for the Back Bay Publishing Company. Last summer, I interned at Boston Magazine, where I worked closely with the research team on various projects both in print and online. During my 3rd year at BU I studied abroad in London, where I worked as a Content Team intern for Bridgeman Images, one of the world's largest image licensing companies with a prestigious multimedia art archive. 

I also took part in BU's Statehouse Program, where I wrote about public policy for The Hampshire Gazette.

Throughout my 4 years at BU I was heavily involved in The Daily Free Press, a student-led non-profit organization covering BU and greater Boston arean news. I published articles on school/community events, social issues, profiles, reviews, and more. I later worked as the Features editor where I led a group of 100+ writers in daily publishing. I also spent a year as a Communications Intern at BU Hillel, worked as an Editorial Assistant at New York Moves Magazine, was a Crew member on BUTV10's daily news show, The Wire, and was the Editor-In-Chief on The Communique, a small-town student newspaper in high school.

Learning curve: Watchdog groups worry that education money isn't being spent right

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Education Reform Act, a landmark piece of legislation that made the commonwealth a leader in education.

The legislative package was deemed the “most dramatic change in generations” by Mitchell Chester, the then-commissioner of the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, and has continued to receive overwhelming praise.

The law was largely a result of a report from the Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education, “Every Child a Wi

Tackling the early child care crisis: Common Start bill would subsidize families, divert money to providers

Comerford, Domb push for ‘accountability’ on the green and healthy schools

Two Pioneer Valley lawmakers are seeking a more concrete plan — including the creation of a “watchdog group” — to improve the health of public school buildings and reduce their environmental impact throughout the commonwealth.

Sen. Jo Comerford, D-Northampton, and Rep. Mindy Domb, D-Amherst, were able to incorporate several pieces of their proposal for healthy and green public schools as part of a major bill focused on clean energy and offshore wind. That bill passed last year as part of the Le

Introducing Melissa Gilliam: A life dedicated to education reaches new peak – The Daily Free Press

Mere hours after she was announced as BU’s next president, the first Black woman to take on the prestigious role, Melissa Gilliam sat on the eighth floor of 1 Silber Way, in an office that will soon become hers.

She spoke calmly, with an air of confidence befitting a woman of her qualifications. Five degrees. Award-winning research. Leadership positions in various institutions of higher education. It seems almost impossible.

But before Gilliam achieved all of that, before she became a doctor,

The oldest public school in the US had enslaved people on its campus

Advisory: This story includes descriptions of abuse and oppression of Black people, which were the norm in colonial-era Boston.

Boston Latin School, the nation’s first public school, founded in 1635, famously educated Benjamin Franklin and four other men who went on to sign the Declaration of Independence. But there were also enslaved people on the grounds likely serving the early students.

An examination of probate records shows Nathaniel Williams, one of Boston Latin’s first schoolmasters in

BU Engineering professor receives $2.5 million grant for lung-imaging technology, ‘LungEx’ – The Daily Free Press

Researcher and Assistant Professor in the College of Engineering Hadi Nia has been awarded nearly $2.5 million from the National Institutes of Health to continue his work on imaging the lung in real-time and on the cellular level.

The NIH Director’s New Innovator Award will allow Nia to continue developing “LungEx,” their lung-imaging technology for imaging the lung ex vivo — outside the body.

Imaging the lung in vivo — while it’s alive — Nia said, is difficult because it’s an organ that moves

Students found new club to assist displaced people through longlasting efforts – The Daily Free Press

A trip to the U.S.-Mexico border during spring break last semester inspired two students to start a club that aims to improve the lives of people affected by forced displacement — refugees, asylum seekers, and people affected by homelessness, among others — on a local level.

Assisting Refugees through Initiative, Service, and Education, or ARISE, hopes to differentiate itself from other service organizations at BU through its focus on long term service initiatives and “tangible” change, said co

Lance Reddick –

since I was a kid only because I was a fan of Star Trek,” Reddick told us. “And I loved Captain Kirk and I found out that he was a Shakespearean actor….and so I knew that I wanted to learn to do Shakespeare well.”


Interestingly enough, Lance wasn’t the only future star to grace the halls of Yale (besides Meryl Streep, of course). Paul Giamatti, known for his roles in 12 Years a Slave, Sideways and Billionaire, happened to be in Reddick’s class. Though the two have been friends ever since, Gia

BU Students rally behind Brookline Starbucks strike as the semester begins – The Daily Free Press

On Boston University’s West Campus, a tent stands over lawn chairs and protest signs outside of 874 Commonwealth Avenue — the site of the longest strike in Starbucks history, which has been maintaining an indefinite 24/7 picket line since July 18, nearly 60 days.

Employee Taylor Dickerson said the influx of students moving back to BU for the upcoming school year has re-energized the movement in the face of burnout.

“To have these fresh faces here, it’s been kind of a nice reminder of why we’re
