Are you employed outside of your CWC volunteer position?
You can find me making your favorite drink at Starbucks!
What is your favorite part about volunteering at CWC?
I love coming across a species I haven't worked with before, because it means I get to learn about them. I also love seeing the journey of our patients, from arrival to release.

I loved seeing our most recent bobcat patient grow so much. I'm also generally fond of kestrels.

For all the meat and fish we deal with on a consistent basis, my shift may not know that I've been a vegetarian for over a decade.

The Ramones and Nirvana.
