Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To encourage others to make the connection that nonhuman animals are not much different than us.
ABOUT ME
I've lived and traveled around different parts of the United States. Currently living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, called the city of festivals (but my former town of New Orleans is much better at hosting a party). I grew up in New York and I visit there often. I am passionate about animals and live a vegan lifestyle. I spend a lot of my free time advocating animal rights and volunteering. I enjoy running, hiking, yoga, and kickboxing.
PHILOSOPHY
Most people are deaf to the cries of the animals. It is compassion that makes us understand and listen. If you can hear their suffering loudly and clearly, then tell those whose ears are still deaf, and maybe they will start to listen more closely. ~unknown
