I am pleased to share that I have been promoted to Senior Campaigns Coordinator at Animal Outlook (formerly Compassion Over Killing)! I am proud of our many accomplishments this past year as we have launched new campaigns including encouraging IHOP to add vegan pancakes to its menu and celebrated victories such as Subway's Beyond Meatball Marina sub. I have also learned plenty of new tactics and am looking forward to continuing to enhance our corporate campaigns with creative new strategies!
