I am a Veterinary Social Worker at the Oregon Humane Society. Originally from the Midwest I have more than 20 years experience in animal sheltering. I graduated in 2021 with a Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW) from University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a certificate in Veterinary Social Work. At the Oregon Humane Society in Portland, Oregon I am using social work practice to attend to the needs of people and pets. I am the shelters first social worker and thrilled to be helping clients and our staff and volunteers!
