Where it all began.
Helping Paws started with a simple belief: the right story can change everything.
I spent 20 years producing movies and working in media, and animals have always been part of my life through fostering and volunteering. Now I use what I learned making movies to tell the stories of shelter pets and rescued wildlife, so more of them get seen, helped, and adopted, starting here in Florida.
