Teryn grew up in Western Massachusetts with a passion for animals, conservation, and creativity. As a young girl without a dog, she dreamed of having a Doberman duo of her very own, just like Zeus & Apollo.
In addition to a BA in English and a BFA in Graphic Design, Teryn has been training dogs for over 20 years. As former Director of Graphic Operations for an international environmental design firm, she worked for some of the biggest brands in the world. But, she missed the joy of educating and promoting deeply meaningful human-animal relationships. She has returned to the field and joined ABWC to focus all of her energy and passion toward the care and well-being of pets and their humans.
Teryn is also the Veterinary Behavior Assistant Supervisor and has thrived under the mentorship of Dr. Pike. She is a staunch proponent of humane education and principals that nurture compassion and respect for all living beings. Today, she's combining her graphic design and marketing background, with her passion for humane education and animal welfare. She loves working with patients, and providing education and counseling to families in clinic. She is determined to help grow the ABWC brand and propel the movement of science-based, force-free animal intervention and education to the forefront of modern pet culture.
