About

I’m actively seeking opportunities to grow my skills and gain hands-on experience with organizations that are making a difference for animals and wildlife. I’m eager to learn the strategy behind campaigns that inspire real change, and to eventually build those campaigns myself. If you’re working in this space and open to connecting, I’d love to hear from you.
