I am a dedicated philanthropist and primatologist with a deep-rooted passion for positively impacting the world around us. My journey has been a unique blend of scientific exploration and philanthropy.As a primatologist, my journey began with studying and connecting with orangutans. The connection I forged with this species inspired me to not only understand their lives but also to advocate for their conservation and combat the devastating effects of the illegal wildlife trade. My work experience extends beyond conservation, encompassing a range of charitable causes, from equine & canine rescue initiatives to helping our veterans and families with rare diseases. For the last 5 years, I’ve been fortunate to work with a small dedicated team at the A+C Foundation, raising over $8 million for our diverse causes.
