I'm Em,
Right now I'm focused on improving veg*n retention rates.

About me &  my current Focus

Motivated by a passion to help animals, I'm using a combination of skills as a marketer, designer, and social worker to build scalable support systems that make it easier to go vegan and stay vegan. The problem of veg*n recidivism is a solveable one and that excites me.

Some Inspiring Math

Burnout + Retention
Plug the leak, the world will be vegan.
Imagine each vegan got just one person to go vegan each year. 1 becomes 2, 4, 8..256..etc (after 32 years, starting with just one vegan there would be over 2 billion). If we plugged the leak of veg recidivism we'd start to see this exponential growth.  Right now about 80% of vegetarians/vegans stop being veg. This is a problem that can be fixed.
I take on one major project at a time (check out my last one, The Animal Activist Support Line). If you need help on an initiative email me at Em@non-profit.work
