Deb Carneol Fendrich - Executive Director

Deb Carneol Fendrich is thrilled to be continuing her professional journey as Hillel Milwaukee’s new Executive Director. Born and raised in Milwaukee, Deb grew up as an active member of her Jewish community – attending the Milwaukee Jewish Day School, Camp Interlaken JCC, and being actively involved in Wisconsin Region BBYO throughout high school. Deb received her BA in Journalism – Strategic Communications with a Minor in Management from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, and more recently, she received her MBA from the Lubar School of Business at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. Deb joined the Hillel Milwaukee staff in September 2016 after 6 years of working as a marketing professional for the JCC in Milwaukee. At Hillel Milwaukee, Deb has held the Director of Jewish Student Life and Assistant Director positions and is an alumna of the 5th cohort of the Debra S. and Joseph S. Weinberg ACCELERATE Executive Training Program through Hillel International.
Deb was actively involved in Minnesota Hillel as an undergrad and loves that she has found her true professional calling in the Hillel world. She understands the importance of connecting with Jewish identity at this stage of life and enjoys providing opportunities to explore that identity. When Deb is not at Hillel, you can find her being a mom to her daughter Logan, exploring up-and-coming areas in Milwaukee with her husband Ben, walking in the neighborhood with her fur baby Maya, or cooking up delicious and healthy meals for her family.
