Director of Operations
McKenzie McFee is a Senior at New York University, studying Applied Psychology. She was born and raised in Delaware, a small state on the East Coast, chock full of hidden treasures! She's the oldest in her family and has become accustomed to hanging out with small children. Now, she considers herself a child whisperer and whenever she's at a family gathering, part-time job, or internship, you can find her hanging out with the kiddos. Hanging out with children all the time has fueled her passion for education and to work with Bring on the Books
Community Outreach Intern
Yorai Vardi is a first year philosophy major at NYU. Born in Israel, Yorai immigrated to the United States at a very young age. In order to learn English, and ground himself in the new country which he now called home, Yorai turned to his constant lifelong companions: books. Since moving to the U.S., Yorai has become increasingly interested in helping other young people find themselves and their interests through the magic of reading. In addition to being BoB's new Community Outreach Intern, Yorai is an active member of NYU's Mock Trial team, an amateur short story writer, and self-proclaimed chocolate connoisseur.
