Ali has always had two passions—books and animals. She's worked in both animal rights and the book industry, separately, but she wanted a way to combine those two loves. So when she stumbled across The Protego Foundation's website during a cursory Google search of "Harry Potter animal rights jobs," not hoping for a miracle, there it was! She currently holds the position of Finance and Development Director of The Protego Foundation and lives in Brooklyn, NY, where she completed her Masters degree at NYU in Fan Activism and Animal Rights.
