After graduating with an MSL from CALS, Laurisa co-founded Animals for Animals Action Fund (501c4) to end animal suffering in the state of Delaware. Through community building, Laurisa organizes trust, people, and policy to shift normative culture around the choices humans make to live beside, care for, work with, and eat the animals in our homes, food systems, and wild spaces. A career in education policy leading nonprofits devoted to quality teaching and learning informs how she approaches broad coalition and power building on behalf of animals. She serves on the board of the Humane World Action Fund, amongst local state boards.
