About Us

My passion is working with animals. I spent many years in domestic animal rescue and previously owned a social media marketing company. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Lehigh University, several years of clinic experience as a veterinary technician, and a PA Wildlife Rehabilitator license. My mission is to care for wild animals and educate the public on the importance of keeping our wildlife protected and respected.

I started at Pocono Wildlife in April of 2023. At that time I was unsure of what I wanted to do with my life. Now, in January of 2025, I am a day shift clinic manager, and have realized that wildlife rehabilitation is my passion and will be my life-long occupation. I have always been involved in caring for animals, saving cats, chickens, and small birds throughout my childhood. Wildlife rehabilitation allows me to continue this on a grander scale, helping to rehabilitate, rescue and release a range of native species, from field mice to bald eagles. My mission is to share my passion and love among the community and teach people the importance of cohabitation and conservation of our native species in Pennsylvania.

I started my career in wildlife in 2001 under the tutelage of Mary Jane Stretch, working at a well-established wildlife rehab center for 18 years. I am a licensed PA rehabilitator and am living the dream working every day with injured/orphaned wildlife. I love sharing and teaching volunteers and the public about our day-to-day. To facilitate in the Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Release of our animals is a dream come true. love sharing my knowledge with volunteers and the public.
