Character:Doron is a hero in the Jewish community. Maryland's games are televised in Israel and the live web casts of all home games are extremely popular in her native country.

Doron will fulfill every last request and is generally the last one to finish signing autographs or posing for photos. Inducted into the Greater Washington Jewish Community Center Sports Hall of Fame last year. She has been a role model to young Jewish athletes and Jewish children in this country and in Israel, speaking at many schools and teams.
Community:Two summers ago, Doron played in the Maccabi games as a member of the US team. The Maccabi games are a competition in Israel between teams from all over the country in an Olympic-style format. All athletes participating are Jewish. As a native Israeli, Doron felt a sense of responsibility to be an ambassador of her home country, teaching her US teammates of what the country was really like. She was named MVP of the tournament. That same summer, Doron also played on the Jewish National Team in the Division B European Championships. She was named MVP of the tournament, leading the Israelis to the country's first-ever international women's title.
