I grew up in rural northern California where my neighbors raised cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. Despite my upbringing and former role as vice president of my 4-H club, I became an animal rights activist. I graduated in 2012 from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and work as a shelter veterinarian. I founded Our Honor after the animal agriculture industry's coordinated campaign to try to silence and discredit me for my activism. Glenn Greenwald covered the story of these animal agriculture industry attacks in The Intercept (https://theintercept.com/2020/10/10/new-documents-reveal-how-the-animal-agriculture-industry-surveils-and-punishes-critics/) and the story continued to be covered by Marina Bolotnikova of Vox, (https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/23516639/veterinarians-avma-factory-farming-ventilation-shutdown). Our Honor has garnered much press attention for our advocacy since its inception (http://ourhonor.org/press).
