Biography

I am a licensed veterinary technician with a master of science in Applied Animal Behavior and Welfare. My experience working as a black bear technician as an undergraduate sparked my interest in pursuing a career in medicine, and my role as team leader on those research projects helped me realize my passion for mentorship and education. Since hearing Dr. Marty Becker speak about Fear Free prior to its official release, I have been actively and enthusiastically contributing to Fear Free’s mission to “take the ‘pet’ out of ‘petrified’” on the smaller scale by showing my coworkers the many benefits of Fear Free, and now strive to be a leader in animal wellbeing through education and advocacy on the global scale.
