My journey through animal welfare started in 2004 with Michigan Humane (MH). With the perspective of an entry level employee in an open admission shelter, I developed a thirst for understanding all aspects of shelter operations so that I could be in a position to change our industry for the better. I applied myself to learning every shelter role, eventually becoming a Shelter Director in 2014. I was serving as Director of Animal Logistics with Michigan Humane before accepting a position with Atlanta Humane Society in 2019. As Senior Director of Operations for the Atlanta Humane Society I am amazed each day by how far our industry has come since the early 2000's and I remain committed to promoting greater levels of excellence in our field for all the animals to come!
