ranklin native and
George Washington
University sophomore
Rylie Rosenfeld, 19, has had a
lifelong love for economics.
“I grew up in a very entrepre-
neurial family,
” she explains of
her childhood, which included
attending Temple Israel. With
her father having his own com-
pany, Rosenfeld says she was
“interested in business” from a
young age.
Her involvement in Jewish
youth organizations, including
BBYO, also instilled a deep love
for her Jewish culture and her-
itage. Fast forward more than a
decade, and Rosenfeld has found
a way to combine her passions
into a promising career as both
an entrepreneur and community
leader.
Heavily involved with TAMID

Group, an experiential organi-
zation that facilitates learning
through business in Israel,
Rosenfeld is gearing up to
step into the role of president
of the organization’s George
Washington University chapter.

REAL-LIFE
CONSULTING
EXPERIENCE
Started locally at
the University of
Michigan in 2007,
TAMID includes
both Jewish and
non-Jewish students
passionate about
Israel and learning
about Israeli busi-
nesses.
As an entrepreneurship
and innovation student at
George Washington University,

Rosenfeld’s curriculum and
interests suited the national
organization well.
Encouraged by a friend to
attend a GWU TAMID session
her freshman year, Rosenfeld
went into the informative gath-
ering hoping to learn something
that might benefit her
studies in business
school, but left filling
out an application to
join the organization.
TAMID applica-
tions are competitive
— some 25 out of 75
GWU applicants were
accepted this year —
but Rosenfeld quickly
moved from a first-
round interview to a second.
Then she submitted a case
study and was ultimately admit-
ted to the program.


At that point, I knew nothing
about consulting,
” she says of her
current focus at TAMID.
Yet by her second semester
with TAMID, Rosenfeld was
placed as co-manager of a con-
sulting project for Loop, a cod-
ing camp from Israel looking to
make waves in the U.S.
“We were tasked with finding
a city in the U.S. that would be
sustainable for their business
model,
” Rosenfeld explains of
her first real foray into market
research.
At the end of that semester,
when applications for GWU
TAMID’s executive board
opened, Rosenfeld didn’t need
to think twice before applying
to become co-director of con-
sulting.
This semester, as co-direc-
tor of consulting, she worked

The George Washington University student is the first
sophomore to hold the role in the chapter’s history.
