​

Amor began her musical journey at the prestigious Thelma Yellin High School of the Arts and continued her studies at the Rimon School of Music, majoring in songwriting and composition. She later earned her Bachelor's degree in music education, focusing on conducting from Levinsky College of Education, followed by a master’s and PhD from the Faculty of Education at Bar-Ilan University.

​

As a musician, Amor is a talented singer, pianist, and conductor. Her musical style blends the rich influences of jazz and soul. She collaborates with various musical ensembles, symphony orchestras, and big bands in Israel and abroad. Over the years, she has performed alongside some of Israel’s leading artists, including the late Zvika Pick and Margol. Amor also teaches singing lessons and prepares students for the Israeli music matriculation exam.

On the academic front, her research focuses on expanding cost-effectiveness analyses in education. Her first article, soon to be published, examines the impact of music programs on the development of cognitive, emotional, and social skills.

During her tenure, she also launched groundbreaking initiatives such as Negev Code and Negev Sal, which promoted collaboration between Jewish and Arab communities and sparked cross-sectoral educational innovation. In recent years, she also served as Vice President of a private company focused on developing educational content
through learning technologies.
