My Profile

Since joining AWI in 2022, Adrienne has focused on establishing protections for farmed animals in domestic and international transport, improving industry-backed welfare standards, and monitoring and strengthening state regulatory oversight of on-farm practices.

Adrienne spent her early career working hands-on with animals—at a companion animal rescue, a veterinary clinic, and a farmed animal sanctuary—where she grew to love and appreciate each animal’s individual personality. Wanting to make broader, systemic changes for animals, she earned her JD magna cum laude from Lewis & Clark Law School and joined AWI after serving as a judicial clerk for two years on the Washington State Court of Appeals.

She is a Colorado native who enjoys biking, hiking, and listening to good music. She also loves cooking delicious vegan food and crafting. Adrienne has a Chihuahua-Muppet mix named Ellis who takes his job supervising the AWI office very seriously.
