Yaffa is a 2018 graduate of Sapir's Law School. She describes her time at Sapir as the best educational experience she has ever had. During her studies, she volunteered in the College's Community Engagement Program as a coordinator in a mentoring program for at-risk young adult women. Yaffa also volunteered at Israel's only Legal Clinic for the Negev Bedouin community, operated by Sapir's Law School.

After graduation, Yaffa worked as a law intern at one of the most prestigious legal internships in the public sector, at the State Attorney's Office−High Court of Justice Division. Today, Yaffa is a lawyer at  a nonprofit organization that provides services for people who require legal guardians.

 In her words: "Sapir's exceptional law faculty had real empathy for each student, seeing each one as a fully realized person, with their own dreams for their future. They gave me the optimum tools to succeed in my internship at the State Attorney's Office. I was inspired by my teachers to commit my professional life to help disadvantaged people".
