Elena’s lifelong love for wolves led her to Wolf Connection after she moved from New York to California. In search of a meaningful birthday experience in 2016, she discovered Wolf Connection and was instantly captivated by the majestic wolves and the welcoming team. Motivated by this unforgettable experience, Elena began volunteering at Wolf Connection within a month. Her commitment and enthusiasm were apparent from the start, and she quickly rose through the ranks from dedicated volunteer to Director of Pack Services. This progression reflects her personal growth and deepening connection with both the wolves and the mission of Wolf Connection.

As Director of Pack Services, Elena plays a crucial role in the organization’s success. She oversees the well-being of the wolf pack, ensuring they receive the care and respect they deserve. Her position allows her to merge her passion for wolves with her leadership skills, creating an environment where both the animals and people involved can thrive. For Elena, this work is more than just a job—it is the realization of a dream. Her efforts not only challenge her but also help her build meaningful relationships with both the wolves and those who share her vision.
