Chief Executive Officer
Debra became SAFE’s CEO in 2018. A long-time animal advocate, Debra was SAFE’s Managing Director in 2012, after a twenty-five-year career in film and television. Her love of animals and a concern for the way they are treated led Debra to work with a wide number of groups wanting to make positive changes for animals. Previously, she served on the boards of both SAFE and Wellington SPCA, produced and co-presented an animal rights radio programme and has experience as a business owner and journalist.
Head of Campaigns
Jessica’s background lies largely in the film and television industry. Her dedication to animal advocacy led her to volunteer countless hours of her time to various animal protection organisations and rescue charities over the past decade. A passion for a greater understanding of animal-related issues in New Zealand motivated her return to university where she graduated from Unitec with a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Animal Management and Welfare in 2016. She now heads SAFE’s Corporate Campaign initiatives, where she can combine her production and campaign delivery skills with her ongoing passion and commitment to animal advocacy.
Moving away from dairy is a choice that benefits animals, our planet and our health. There’s never been a better time to go dairy-free. Whether you’re looking for tips on the best plant-based cheese or ice cream or on the lookout for new dairy-free recipe ideas, we’ve got you covered!
As a charity, SAFE is reliant on the support of caring people like you to carry out our valuable work. Every gift goes towards providing education, undertaking research and campaigning for the benefit of all animals. SAFE is a registered charity in New Zealand (CC 40428). Contributions of $5 or more are tax-deductible.
