I have 2 rescue dogs of <br /> my own and also volunteer with a fostering program that benefits a rural NC shelter. Animal <br /> advocacy is important to me and I feel strongly about getting more involved to learn about other <br /> ways I can support a cause close to my heart. I received my B.A. in Psychology from UNC- <br /> Chapel Hill in 2016 and my Master s of Education in School Counseling 2017. 1 currently work <br /> as a school counselor in a low-income school, a job requiring advocacy, compassion, and <br /> teamwork on a daily basis. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> During the COVID pandemic, I used my quarantine time to connect more with nature and my <br /> environment. I went for daily walks in county parks and seeing baby deer, frogs, dogs, birds, <br /> and other beautiful natural creates would always make my day. I took on fostering 3 4 week old <br /> puppies (giving me a total of 5 dogs in my house!) and absolutely loved it, despite the hard <br /> work. Seeing them find homes and grow up happy and healthy after their tough start to life gave <br /> me a new appreciation for animal advocacy. I know there is more I can do to help the animals <br />
