Priscilla Mezrahi, Ph.D., is passionate about increasing awareness of humane education. She has a particular interest in advocating for New York’s Humane Education Mandate. She holds a B.A. and M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology and is a NYS licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP). During her career as an SLP, she worked with children and adults in various settings including the school system and communication technology sector. She taught at the higher education level within the Communication Sciences and Disorders department at St. John’s University.
Priscilla is a dedicated mother and spends her time with her family. She also volunteers her time advocating for animals, helping to advance the local, state, federal, and global animal protection legislative agenda. While in Zimbabwe, Priscilla volunteered with an anti-poaching foundation alongside rangers and studied the organization’s mission. Her passion for making change, particularly for animals, led her to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Organizational Development and Change with a concentration in Sustainability Leadership. In addition, Priscilla felt the need to incorporate animal courses within the higher education setting so she developed and teaches the Animals and Sustainability course at a university. Priscilla’s experiences have led her to IHE as a Program Manager, which allows her to incorporate her skills and knowledge when assisting in advancing the organization’s mission.
