After working for years in the private sector, Sandy decided to follow her passion to make a difference and made the leap to animal welfare. She started out at Salt Lake County Animal Services (SLCoAS) doing marketing and communications. At SLCoAS, Sandy truly learned about giving animals a voice and engaging communities to make a difference.

 

In February 2015, Sandy brought her knowledge and experience to Best Friends Animal Society. She has worked in a capacity of roles there including NKUT manager, marketing specialist, and development officer. She currently “herds cats” as a project manager for Best Friends.

​

In her spare time, Sandy likes hiking, biking, snowboarding, traveling, and true crime podcasts. She shares her home with her partner Ben and whatever foster pet happens to need them.
