Mission


Applied animal behavior has the power to change lives. Too often, animals are judged by the behaviors they show instead of the needs those behaviors are communicating. My mission is to help bridge that gap by providing thoughtful, science-based behavior support that improves welfare, strengthens the human-animal bond, and gives animals a better chance to thrive in their homes and communities.

I am pursuing a master's degree in Applied Animal Behavior so I can provide expert, compassionate guidance to families, shelters, and rescues across West Virginia. My goal is to make professional behavior support more accessible and to help more animals remain safe, understood, and loved.
