What is your connection to PAWS NY? Why is this cause important to you?

I care about pets and want to be involved in this cause – I have two dogs and one is a rescue. My dogs bring me so much joy in my life and I love PAWS’ mission of helping people stay with their pets even when they physically can’t care for them the way they want to. A dog’s love is the fastest way to bring joy into someone’s life and PAWS makes sure everyone has access to that joy, no matter their income level.

What are your pets’ names?

Javi and Remi! Javi is a long haired chihuahua rescued from Russia in 2018. Remi is a  cavalier king charles spaniel – she was the last one in the litter and no one wanted to adopt her because she was not pure bred! I saw her and knew she was perfect for me.

How long have you been running? What are some of your favorite places to run?

I’ve been running for over 15 years. My favorite places to run are the Muir Woods trails in Northern California – they’re absolutely gorgeous!

We’re so excited to cheer you on as you run Irina! Come watch Irina and the rest of Team PAWS crush it this Sunday 3/17 as they run through Brooklyn and Manhattan.

What is your connection to PAWS NY? Why is this cause important to you?

As a pet owner myself I know how important pets are to our mental health. People should be able to keep their pets even in challenging times and PAWS NY does such great work to make sure people can stay with their beloved animals no matter the circumstances.

Do you have any pets of your own? Did you grow up with pets? Tell us about them!

I have two lab mixes, Mia and Champ. They are my babies!

How long have you been running? What are some of your favorite places to run?

I run close to where I live in Nashville, but I like to run in different states when I travel for work. One special one is Central Park in NYC – it’s so beautiful.
