Hadas grew up in a well-traveled family, owing to her mother's career as a diplomat. Her childhood took her across South Africa, Spain, Israel, Greece, and Turkey, immersing her in diverse cultures and histories.
In 2019, amidst the coronavirus lockdown, Hadas developed a keen interest in true crime and criminology, leading her to pursue a specialization in psychology with a focus on criminology. Her primary interest lies in the realm of cult psychology.
She is particularly fascinated by the intersection of faith and submission and has extensively studied many recent cult leaders whose victims predominantly belonged to the secular, self-reliant millennial generation.
This fascination led her to choose Goel Ratzon, a notorious yet globally obscure cult leader, as the subject of her first project. Hadas believes that many compelling true crime stories remain untold due to language barriers. She is dedicated to bringing these stories to a global audience, shedding light on these lesser-known narratives. Currently, Hadas resides in New England, US, with her family and two dogs.
