Bios:
· Lauren Revier is Director of Research and Programs at Dogs Playing for Life where she is responsible for measuring DPFL's impact and ensuring its programs are continually improving. Lauren's introduction to animal welfare came in 2013 when she started volunteering at Longmont Humane Society. She was so drawn to the dogs, the people, and the work that she applied for a job and began facilitating animal intakes and adoptions while still volunteering her time walking and learning to handle dogs with more challenging behaviors. From 2014 to 2016, Lauren held the position of Public Training Program Coordinator, overseeing the public dog training and adoption follow-up programs. She left this position in 2016 but continues to teach public training classes every week. Upon leaving her full-time job at LHS, Lauren worked for four years at a criminal justice consulting firm where she conducted research, administered surveys, and wrote reports and implementation guides. She was thrilled to return to animal welfare in 2019 when she joined DPFL as its Shelter Support Coordinator. Lauren holds a master's degree in Criminology, Law, and Society.
· Morgan Rivera currently works as the Senior Manager of Shelter Partnerships for GoodPup where she consults with partner organizations around the country, helping to develop or advance their post-adoption support, foster programs, and more. Prior to this, she worked for the Humane Society of the United States on their Animal Rescue Team. Morgan has been involved in animal welfare since 2004 and in 2022 graduated from the University of Florida with a masters degree in Shelter Medicine.
