Mick grew up in southern Missouri and has always had a deep love and passion for animals. Despite growing up in a hunting-heavy community, she became vegetarian and then vegan in 2016 and 2018, respectively, and has never looked back.
After graduating from college and then getting her master’s degree in Scotland, she worked at an animal shelter, which helped her realize that caring for animals was one of the few things that made her heart feel fulfilled. She started volunteering at Luvin Arms in 2024 and fell in love with the residents, and then she was hired in April 2025 as an animal care specialist.
After primarily working with cats and dogs, Mick loves getting to know other species and finding new things to appreciate about them (the goats’ spunkiness, the ducks’ playfulness, and the donkeys’ adorableness, to name a few).
