Gabrielle Robbins
Founder of Tails for Change, Current President
I'm Gabrielle Robbins, the creator of Tails for Change. I attend the Magnet IB program at Richard Montgomery High School. I was born in Maryland but lived in Arizona for seven years before moving back to Maryland. I have always loved everything animal related and am an aspiring veterinarian. Chance, a smooth collie, and Oljeto, a Native American Reservation Rescue dog, are my furry children. I know that the number of abused and neglected animals is unimaginably high but I strive to make a difference through Tails for Change.

Steve Chen
Manager of Finances, Current Vice President
Hi, my name is Steven Chen and I am currently a senior enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program at Richard Montgomery High School. I have long been interested in not only pets, but animals of all sorts, from dogs to cats to birds. I have owned many pets, including a dog and two parakeets. One of my greatest passions in my life is to ensure that all animals receive the love and care that they deserve and I believe that Tails for Change strives to make this happen. As a program we raises awareness on animal abuse and cruelty and try to close the disconnect between what is happening and what people are aware of.
