π October Members of the Month: Jennifer & Ari π
This month, we are excited to recognize Jennifer and her daughter, Ari, as our October Members of the Month!
Jennifer serves as both a School Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). Her passion for therapy dog work comes from witnessing the joy and comfort it brings to others. She shares that she loves being able to make a positive impact through pet therapy and hopes to incorporate animal-assisted therapy into her counseling practice in the future.
We are grateful for Jennifer's dedication, compassion, and commitment to sharing the healing presence of therapy dogs in our community.
Ari, a high school senior who will be graduating this year, is already looking ahead to an exciting future. She plans to pursue a career in nursing, continuing a path of caring for and helping others. She loves therapy dog work because sheβs likes to make people smile. We are proud to have her as part of our therapy dog family and look forward to highlighting more about her journey.
Thank you, Jennifer and Ari, for the kindness, enthusiasm, and service you bring to our organization. Congratulations on being our October Members of the Month! ππΎ
