Felicia Greenfield

After 10 years marketing for Major League Baseball and the NHL, Felicia switched careers to work as an actor, mom, and philanthropist.

Her animal activism began when she started Grandpa Dave’s Creature Comforts with her two daughters in 2010. GDCC provides comfort items for NYC rescue and shelter animals via in-kind donations and actively fosters dogs for independent city shelters.

She is also an active board member of the Foundation for Education in Honduras, which rebuilds schools in the most rural areas of the country. When in the country, she makes it a point to teach children about respecting animals, especially the many stray dogs.

Jamie Lynne

Jamie Lynne is an animal rights activist who has done campaigns with PETA and Million Dollar Vegan, co-owner of Sugar Taco and The Plant Butcher restaurants, and host of the “Jamie All Over” podcast. Jamie resides in Southern California with her daughter, Ivy, and their two dogs, Batman and Harley Quinn.

She also founded the Plant-Based Food Relief Program in response to COVID-19 to help feed families, children, seniors, and the disabled population via Sugar Taco. (Fundraiser can be found on GoFundMe!)

She’s also incredibly passionate about Purina’s Purple Leash Project, which advocates for domestic abuse victims and their pets by creating more pet-friendly domestic violence shelters to help survivors and pets get to safety together. 

Melissa Pacheco

Melissa is a dedicated advocate for animal welfare with over 12 years of experience living a plant-based lifestyle. Melissa is also a co-founder and executive recruiter at Chameleon Collective, specializing in helping eco-conscious brands build their teams.

Known as the “Recruiter Extraordinaire,” she goes beyond job descriptions to understand her clients’ goals and aspirations, helping them hire exceptional eCommerce and marketing professionals who can drive real change within their organizations. Her ultimate goal is to facilitate success for both businesses and individuals, often by connecting clients with candidates who possess the necessary capabilities, even if they may not seem like an obvious fit at first glance.

She has also been a volunteer for the Seed Food & Wine Festival, a plant-based festival in Miami, since its inception.

Kelly Sloan

Kelly Sloan is a wildlife biologist who has worked around the world with species ranging from baboons to sea turtles. Her career is rooted in hands-on fieldwork, close collaboration with veterinarians and policymakers, and a deep commitment to animal welfare across species.

She has spent many years working in nonprofit settings, contributing expertise in leadership, program development, strategic planning, volunteer coordination, and research.

Outside of work, Kelly enjoys traveling, hiking, and spending time with her dog, Toko.

Lori Willinski

Lori Willinski is the founder of Plant Powered Collective and an integrative nutrition coach with a professional background in finance, leadership, and community engagement. She brings a strategic, systems focused perspective to her work, grounded in integrity, transparency, and service.

Lori has followed a vegan lifestyle for decades, rooted in a deep respect for animals and a belief in their humane and ethical treatment. This commitment informs both her personal choices and her advocacy, aligning closely with missions centered on animal welfare, compassion, and responsible stewardship.

She has extensive experience serving in volunteer and committee leadership roles across nonprofit, civic, and community based organizations. Lori values collaboration, thoughtful governance, and long term sustainability, with a focus on helping organizations operate with clarity, accountability, and heart.

Her work in health and wellness emphasizes education, prevention, and practical solutions that support individuals and communities in living healthier, more resilient lives. This perspective guides her contributions at the board level, where she is committed to advancing Little Bear Sanctuary’s mission through compassionate leadership and ethical decision making.
