Efrat Yuzefovich
Program Manager (South Florida)
Efrat Yuzefovich was born and raised in northern Israel. After serving in an IDF intelligence unit, she moved to the U.S. and earned a B.A. in Psychology from George Mason University.
Efrat is passionate about helping women, children, and families through challenging life situations, especially those related to mental health. She spent more than 10 years at a private OB/GYN multi-practice offering a range of women’s health services, including infertility care. There she supported a diverse, multicultural patient community and gave clients empathetic guidance, education, and an attentive ear throughout their care.
During the COVID pandemic, Efrat joined the Northern Virginia health department to provide public health emergency assistance and help families get the services they needed. She was also active in the Northern Virginia Jewish community, where she taught Hebrew and Jewish culture to children.
Since moving to Miami, Efrat has been eager to deepen her involvement in the local Jewish community. She was grateful to join JFF, whose mission is close to her heart, and honored to support people in the South Florida area who are trying to grow their families.
