While a student at Yale Law School, I <br />interned in the Animal Protection Litigation section of the Humane Society of the U.S. and at <br />Meyer Glitzenstein & Eubanks, a law firm specializing in animal and environmental law. Until <br />earlier this summer, I was the Associate Director of Animal Law at the PETA Foundation, where <br />I worked for 6 years. I am currently a lecturing fellow at Duke Law School, teaching Professional <br />Responsibility and Animal Law. I am very knowledgable about animal-related ordinances, <br />dangerous-dog laws, and the like. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I am passionate about animals and about Orange County, where I have lived with my husband <br />and two small children for the past 5 years. I would love to use my experience and education in <br />animal law and advocacy to serve my community. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />11
