Hey there! My name is Stephanie and I am the events planner and business liaison here at the AWA. I have always had a passion for anything artistic, and love getting to combine the two things I love the most: creativity and animals! I have my bachelor’s degree in visual art/photography and criminal justice from Rutgers University- New Brunswick, where I taught art and photography workshops to kids of all ages. I have numerous years of experience not only in event planning and management, but also with photography, design, and social media management. I love being able to create new relationships with sponsors, volunteers, and donors through creating immersive and engaging experiences that help spread our mission and promote compassion for all animals. My love of animals makes this position not only a fun experience, but also very rewarding. In my spare time, I love hanging out with my dogs, Smokey and Stark, and going to the dog beach. I also am a bingo show host and entertainer and really enjoy music and making tie dye.
