“I am honored to serve on The Gentle Barn’s Board of Directors and Finance Committee. Since adopting a vegan lifestyle in 2017 and learning of the remarkable work that Ellie Laks, Jay Weiner, and the staff and volunteers at The Gentle Barn are doing, I have been an ardent supporter. I look forward to utilizing my nonprofit experience and financial skills to assist in areas such as strategic planning, financial analysis, and fundraising. I am thankful to everyone who works so hard and supports this amazing organization.”
