URGENT: The city shelter is full, and we can’t save more animals until we have space. By adopting or fostering one pet with PAWS, you’re saving two lives: the one you bring home, and the next one we can rescue in their place.

Director of Development


At PAWS since:
2019
Pets at home:

Our cats, Selena, Fern, and Smithers (all failed fosters!), and a rotating crew of foster cats and kittens.

The most rewarding thing about my job:

Helping like-minded animal lovers build a deeper and more meaningful relationship with an organization whose mission I am profoundly passionate about.

When I’m not at work, I’m probably:

Spending time with my family down the shore, running national park half marathons, exploring new breweries, or watching a movie, surrounded by cats.
