Where do you work?
I work from Orlando, Florida, when I’m not traveling across the country for demonstrations.
Do you have companion animals?
I have a rescued cat named Jerry who’s taught me so much about the way we can share strong bonds with others no matter their species!
What’s the best part about your job?
The best part of my job is helping people come to the realization that they have the power to save the lives of hundreds of animals simply by making compassionate choices. There’s nothing more rewarding than having a conversation with someone that finally inspires them to make kind changes when they eat, shop, or go about their everyday life.
What’s the hardest part about your job?
It can be upsetting when people are unwilling to have an open-minded conversation about animal rights when they come across our demonstrations. I just remind myself this is one step, no matter how small, in that person’s journey toward learning how they can have a positive impact on animals.
Best memory at PETA:
I traveled across the country in a PETA van for six months informing the public about the tragedies of the dairy industry through PETA’s “I, Calf” virtual reality experience. Every day was exciting, and I often woke up in a different city than I’d been in the day before. Most importantly, though, thousands of people were inspired by this activism to make changes in their lives to help end animals’ suffering.
What do you like to do when you’re not at the office?
I love to explore new places—local or far away—go to concerts, cuddle with my cat, and be with my favorite people.
