Having recently returned to her hometown of Christchurch after three years in London, Paris is excited to join the NZAVS team. She has experience across fundraising and corporate partnership development and focuses on building strong, values‑aligned relationships.

Paris works with supporters who want their giving to create meaningful change and is motivated by the passion and generosity of the NZAVS community. She is working to expand NZAVS’ reach by collaborating with universities, research institutions, community and corporate partners to support and scale animal‑free research and innovation.

She enjoys working with people who believe change is most powerful when achieved together. Paris has a strong interest in animal welfare and how animals are represented in mainstream media and society, and is encouraged by progress in animal‑free solutions in research and medicine.

Outside of work, Paris enjoys thrifting and sustainable fashion, attending theatre and comedy shows, and staying active through hiking and gym training while preparing for her first Ironman.
