I start caring about animal welfare at the age of 12. Nearly a decade later, I discovered effective altruism and decided to start down an earning to give career path as a physician and bootstrapped my own telehealth company. Once I started trying to decide where to donate, I was quite shocked by the limitations of the existing organizations and communities in the EA/​Animal space and switched into doing meta-work through co-founding Hive and later increasing my moral circle to include all kinds of nonhumans including artificial minds and founding Sentient Futures (formerly AI for Animals).
