E24: Companion Animals for Reform and Equity with COO Jen Evans

Episode 5, Series 3: I chat with CARE’S COO, Jen Evans, about why reform is needed in the animal care industry and what steps CARE is taking to help the process along. 

We discuss CARE’S efforts in research, sharing narratives, and policy change. All areas that, according to Jen, could use the perspective of a BIPOC person to reform in order to promote an atmosphere of listening and inclusion for human and well as companion animal well-being. 

Guest:Jennifer Evans studied studio art in school and has over 20 years experience in marketing and publishing as both a designer and Art Director. She is the COO and Art Director for Illume Communications and is a wardrobe stylist.

Jennifer is also the Chief Operating Officer for CARE. As a highly organized logistics expert, she manages CARE’s staff and workflow. Aside from her visual communications and organizational skills, Jen brings an in-depth knowledge of social media marketing strategies and narrative production. Much of her recent work within the animal welfare field has included innovative campaign strategies and production for large scale projects such as Breaking Bias for HSUS Expo 2019, Stop Puppy Mills Video campaign, Petstablished, Let’s Fix This, HSUS’ Spayathon, and HSUS’ Adopter’s Welcome toolkit.

Even most medicines use animals in testing or in the medicine itself. This is a podcast about Anthrozoology: the study of interaction between humans and non-human animals.
