Ivy started volunteering with MRR in 2021 when a request went out for data help. From there, it has branched out to various tasks like transfer help, newsletter writing, and event support.

Ivy has had various rodents off and on since childhood, but has been a more regular and avid rat mom over the past five years.

Outside of MRR, she does finance work in higher ed. Ivy lives in southern MA and spends her time reading, dabbling in arts and crafts, and trying to maintain any sanity the rats haven’t run off with yet.
