It all started with a heartfelt wish to help animals.

Hi,

I’ve loved animals since I was a child. Perhaps you can relate!

I remember adopting and caring for a sweet little cat. She was a stray, and we took her in. I always remember how she used to curl up on my bed every night—I loved her dearly.

I also remember working at a fourth generation dairy farm every day after school when I was in my teens. It was a place where the farmer knew every one of his 200 cows by name. But it was also a place where I witnessed the trauma of birth for the first time—not the trauma of birth itself, but the trauma of the calf torn away from his mother right after being born. I always remember that moment: the bleating, the confusion, the distress.

With my cat, with this cow and her calf, and with every animal I’ve met along the way, all I really cared about was how I could help.

That’s what drove me to become a veterinarian. It was always for the animals.

Veterinarians help animals in so many ways: by treating companion animals, caring for animals at sanctuaries and shelters, and beyond.

Then there are vets who become advocates for animals: changemakers like you and me. That’s the path I’ve followed. Because it’s where I know I can make the biggest difference: in bringing everything I’ve learned to transform how our society treats animals—especially animals raised in our broken food system.

As an advocate, you can help. Very soon, changemakers are delivering a petition straight to 7-Eleven’s headquarters with a powerful message for its executive team: Follow through for animals, like you promised you would. When we show up on 7-Eleven’s doorstep, I want them to be blown away. Will you add your name? Every signature counts.

As a vet, I took an oath to protect animals—and that’s what I get to do every single day at The Humane League.
