MY NEXT CHAPTER
My special little senior rescue, Tessa, and me. She faced immense medical challenges, and though we only had a little over two years together, she taught me the depth of my compassion. Pups like Tessa are the reason I am so fiercely devoted to animal advocacy.
Leveraging my background leading marketing for brands like Oracle, PayPal, and Yahoo! to help nonprofits and animal rescues, in the Reno area and beyond, save more lives.
My Story
My pups made me a more compassionate human. They inspired a deep commitment to animal advocacy, especially for the "hard to place" dogs—the seniors, the special needs pups, and the often-overlooked breeds who just need a champion.
For over seven years, I partnered with the Humane Society of the North Bay in Vallejo, CA. I used my marketing expertise to drive fundraising and awareness, serving as a volunteer, a board member, and an advisory board member. Even after relocating to the Reno area six years ago, I proudly continued my advocacy work for them remotely.
My background is rooted in over 25 years of leading high-impact marketing programs for global tech giants like PayPal, Oracle, and Yahoo!. Now that I am fully retired and permanently settled in Reno, I am looking to channel that corporate-level experience into local, hands-on animal welfare initiatives.
