Shauna Sherick: Founder and President of Wildwood Farm Sanctuary and Preserve

Shauna is a licensed veterinary technician with a background in wildlife rehabilitation, farm animal nursing care, and a love of nature. She worked at a mixed-animal veterinary hospital shortly after earning her degree in veterinary technical science in 1994. She went on to earn specialty certification in animal dentistry and pursued an interest in anesthesia and surgical procedures. In her direct work with farmed animals, she came to understand each of them as unique and intelligent beings, which led to removing all animal products from her diet and starting her sanctuary, Wildwood Farm Sanctuary & Preserve.
