Growing up, Keren has always been surrounded by an array of animals- from owning multiple childhood pets at home to her grandmother’s farm overseas. Keren has many fond memories with animals big and small. As a child she knew she wanted to help animals for a living and that passion has only grown with her.

In her spare time, Keren likes to read, go on spontaneous adventures and most importantly, nap.
