Kelly’s love for animals brought her to Luvin Arms in November 2020. After attending a Compassion Tour, Kelly decided then and there that she wanted to pursue a career that involved two of her passions – her love for animals and education.
After 10 years in Education (both as a Special Education teacher and Licensed Administrator) and 3 years in Homeless Services, Kelly decided it was time to venture into the world of Humane Education and Community Outreach. Recognizing that Luvin Arms provided opportunities for communities to engage in such meaningful and knowledgeable experiences that married her two passions together, she knew it was time to take that leap. Being a part of a community that promotes and celebrates Connections and Compassion, allows her the opportunity to share the vision and mission of Luvin Arms with others.
When Kelly isn’t spending her time at Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary she loves spending time with her family, trying new Vegan recipes, exploring the outdoors, attending local community events, and caring for her animals (3 dogs and 2 rats)!
Favorite memory with our residents:
It is extremely difficult to think of any one specific favorite memory with the residents as each day is another beautiful and memorable moment. However, the memory of my first visit to Luvin Arms in November 2020 is one that will forever be the experience that changed my life – both personally and professionally. During the Compassion Tour, I met Luvin Arms newest resident, Marley Rose. Marley Rose was just a baby that had experienced such trauma, but still extended love and warmth to those coming into her home. As I knelt to her, she looked up and stared at me with her big brown, soulful eyes. At that moment, I felt connected with her – not as the cute baby cow, but as an individual.”
