In school, Aynaw served as class president, competed in track and field, and won a national student filmmaking competition. After graduating from Kfar HaNoar HaDati, Aynaw began her mandatory enlistment in the Israel Defense Forces, serving as a lieutenant in the Israeli Military Police Corps.
She later attended the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya in Herzliya, before being named Miss Israel.
