As Kimberly progressed through the
corporate world of advertising and public relations, she found she
spent more and more hours volunteering at the local animal
shelters such as The Michigan Humane Society and most recently,
the Chicago Anti-Cruelty Society.
Realizing that her passion and soul's purpose is to
help animals (which started as a childhood dream to become a
veterinarian), Kimberly enrolled in the Tellington Touch Method
and graduated as a practitioner from the first
training ever held in Illinois. She is one of the Trainers
for the Anti-Cruelty Society, teaching new volunteers how to
handle dogs and cats and assist the veterinarians during physical
exams. She has read numerous books on animal behavior and
training. Kimberly has also attended the training for the
Emergency Animal Rescue Service.
By becoming Director of Marketing for The Anxiety
Wrap - a tool to help improve the quality of animal's lives --
Kimberly feels she can combine the best of her professional career
skills and her passion for animals. Kimberly lives with
three cats and a dog in Chicago.
