BACKGROUND ~ Though my work over the past ten years, I have partnered with people and organizations from all around the globe to support wildlife conservation and animal welfare projects in Indonesia, Nepal, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Laos, India, and Myanmar.

I have raised more than $1 million to help purchase and protect at-risk rain forest habitat, rescue and rehabilitate wildlife, mitigate human-wildlife conflict, and improve the health and welfare of animals living in captivity, care centers, sanctuaries and in the wild.

​

Prior to 2009, my career focused on conservation, land use planning, community development, environmental education, and nonprofit development in the United States. I raised millions of dollars for hundreds of projects and programs, partnering with local, regional, state and national organizations and government agencies, grass-roots groups, nonprofits, and businesses.
