What unique talents and skills do you bring to the SSPCA board?
I love to connect people, especially animal lovers. I also have a unique skill set as a lawyer with an MBA.

We would love to hear about your family, starting with your pets…
Bear is almost 10 years old and just the best! I adore my little guy and I am so excited to be working from home with him. I also have two kids, Teddy (1) and Giuliana (3), who keep me very busy. I joined the Board when I was pregnant with Giuliana and the group has been so supportive of my role as a working mom.

Finally, what excites you about being part of the SSPCA board of directors?
Being part of a group who makes things happen to support animals. The Board’s work this past year was inspiring and marks the beginning of what we can accomplish together. Under Kenn’s leadership, we are well poised to creating a lasting impact.
