WELCOME TO
MEET THE TEAM
Our Tribe
Inspired by Birthright alumni and a lifelong passion for color war, Trybal aims to bring the magic of immersive experiences for young adults back to North America. Our team is second to none. We are camp professionals, experience designers, ski junkies, DJs, educators, artists, travel geeks, and friends. Together, we are committed to delivering exceptional programs that are inviting to Jewish young adults of all backgrounds.
founder & CEo
Born and raised in the Boston area, Carine has over 15 years experience working in Jewish travel and experiential marketing. Carine has served in a number of roles, including the Director of Marketing at Authentic Israel, as a consultant for Start-Up Nation Central in Tel Aviv & the iCenter in Chicago, and as a tour guide for LivingSocial Adventures. Carine is a Wexner Graduate Fellow and ROI alum. In 2018, she was named a "36 Under 36" by The Jewish Week and a Chai in the Hub honoree by CJP in Boston. Carine holds a B.S. in Anthropology from Bates College, a Certificate in Marketing from Georgetown University, and an MBA with honors from Boston University's Questrom School of Business. Carine is a proud alumna of URJ Eisner Camp.
OPERATIONS DIRECTOR
As a proud resident of the New York Capital Region, Ben has worked with Jewish organizations for over a decade, including in his roles as the Office Manager at Eisner Camp and the Manager of Business Development & Special Projects for Shmaltz Brewing. Ben holds a B.A in Economics and an MBA concentrated in New Venture Development, both from SUNY University at Albany, as well as a certificate in Project Management from Cornell University. His passions include helping others overcome obstacles, exploring entrepreneurial ideas, and doing anything outdoors. As Trybal’s official Bubbe, you can find Ben wandering around camp kvelling that you’re making such wonderful friends and memories…but worried that you’re not eating!
OPERATIONS & Program Manager
After growing up in Long-guy-land, Aly became a snowbird early and moved to South Florida with her family. Aly comes to Trybal after five years at Hillel of Broward and Palm Beach in her most recent role as Assistant Director of Development & Operations. She now lives in Atlanta with her boyfriend, where you can find them exploring local parks and restaurants while playing Pokemon Go. Aly graduated from the University of Delaware and holds a certificate in Jewish Leadership from the Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership. She is an alumna of NFTY-NAR, URJ Eisner Camp, and the Masa Israel Teaching Fellowship, Be'er Sheva.
Community Manager
Raised in the Midwest but currently residing in Salt Lake City, Utah, Emily has been chasing her passion for Jewish community across the country. Emily is a former Engagement Associate at Northwestern Hillel, and most recently departed from her role as the Director of Teen Engagement and Education for Temple Emanuel and year-round Program Director for Shwayder Camp in Denver, Colorado. She holds a BA in Theatre and Drama from Indiana University, and received her Certificate in Jewish Leadership from Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership. If she’s not serving bug juice to the masses at Trybal, she’s probably hanging out with her fiancé Ben and dog, Banjo.
