Why I chose to join the board: My experience with H.O.P.E. Ranch continues to serve as a major factor in my ability to pursue and maintain health and happiness in my life. Through the years, Kit and the animals have been integral forces in helping to navigate challenges and anxiety. I believe therapy should be available, accessible, and de-stigmatized for everyone.
- I am passionate about animal assisted therapy and want to bring awareness to the possible benefits clients may experience.
- I am passionate about the fundraising efforts and the commitment to helping make animal assisted therapy accessible for people as well as ensure the well-being of the animals.
- I am passionate about community and utilizing partnership to build and maintain networks of care within our regions.
