Her dedication to animal welfare eventually led her to White Settlement Animal Shelter in 2010, where as part of a small three-person team, Kenzie gained experience in every facet of shelter work, including hands-on cleaning of the shelter facility, serving as a receptionist as needed, and performing the strenuous duties of animal control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, she joined the Weatherford Animal Shelter as an animal care specialist and steadily advanced through a variety of positions, including senior animal care specialist, outreach officer, animal services coordinator, and ultimately animal services manager. Along the way, she developed new programs, built relationships with local organizations, and led teams focused on both animal welfare and public education.<\/p>\n\n\n
