I am the Best Friends Network International and New Jersey Team Leader. I love all animals and am strongly against the exploitation of all animals, both domestic and wild, for personal or financial gain.

I have four dogs (all rescues of course) - a Chihuahua-mix named Bruno, a Doberman Pinscher named Asia and two male Pekingese - named Maxwell & Oscar. I love to spend time with my dogs outside or spend my time traveling to places like Africa and South America where I can watch wildlife in their natural habitat.

My work in New Jersey focuses primarily on companion animals and animal rescue. I also support any furthering of protections for wildlife in New Jersey and actively campaign against factory farming. New Jersey has many wonderful people that are devoted to working towards a day where there are No More Homeless Pets and I am honored to know them and work with them. My work internationally also focuses on companion animals, but also equally focuses on wildlife from all over the world. There are truly amazing people working against all odds to protect animals abroad and I admire them greatly for their commitment and perseverance.

I strongly believe that humans have a responsibility to care for and protect domestic animals such as cats and dogs because it was humans that domesticated these animals. I also strongly believe that wild animals have the right to live in their natural habitats free from human encroachment and harm. I look forward to the day where everyone sees things my way.
