In 2012 I learned the horror behind the fur industry through a video I watched on social media. I was absolutely devastated. Soon after I did a deep dive into the other ways in which animals are exploited. I first focused on food… and my heart was shattered. I soon became vegetarian. Years went by and I finally connected with the dairy & egg industries and once I joined the animal rights march in 2019, I decided to become a full on animal rights activist. I’ve been a strong voice for the animals ever since, participating in all sorts of events, such as vigils at slaughterhouses, disruptions, protests, and more. I am a volunteer and VP on the Board at The Barnyard Sanctuary and have gone on to study Plant-Based Nutrition at the T Colin Campbell Institute for Nutrition Studies. I so hope for a vegan world and if I am not around to see it, perhaps my children will be! - Vegan for the animals always & forever!
