Gill Chang
Officer
With a degree in graphic design, Gill has never imagined that one day she would devote her time to animal welfare. It all started with her daughter needing to fulfill her volunteer hours for high school. They both love animals, so they chose to volunteer at a pet clinic. This experience has opened up a new world for Gill. Not only did she find a way to get involved in an area that brings service to pets and their owners in the community where it's most needed, but she also met a group of great people who inspired her to want to do more.
In her free time, Gill enjoys chilling with her family of two humans, 3 cats, 1 hedgehog, and fostering cats/kittens with her daughter.

She loves all animals, especially her dog and family gecko. Veronica connected with Washington Health Outreach because of her dog’s need for prescription food, and she is thrilled to be serving on the Board of Directors.

Katelyn Mullikin
Officer
Katelyn moved from Boston to Seattle in 2021 for grad school at the University of Washington, and quickly became involved in local mutual aid projects and providing direct aid to encampment residents. Three years later, she's graduating with degrees in Public Health and Social Work, and involved in work to stop encampment sweeps in Seattle. In getting to know unhoused folks in her neighborhood, she has also gotten to know their pets. Housed or unhoused, pets are often peoples' protectors, companions, and family; but for folks living outside and unhoused, accessing veterinary services, basic pet care, and emergency services can be nearly impossible. Katelyn is grateful to have met the folks at Washington Health Outreach, who have helped numerous of her friends and their pets living unhoused in Ballard and throughout King County! Katelyn (along with her partner, and two cats Nova & Titan) currently does food and supply distribution to encampments in Ballard, and downtown Seattle with Stop the Sweeps. She encourages folks to join their local mutual aid groups, get to know their unhoused neighbors, and join the movement to Stop the Sweeps.
Monica Green
Officer
Monica Green is a proud Washingtonian who was raised in Seattle and grew up on the streets. She is a proud Mother of three and a Blessed GG of five. She raised her children as a single mother so she had to make sure she had a career that would keep her children in a safe neighborhood and good schools so she chose marketing. She was happy with the money but never happy with her career. After all of her children left home, she experienced the empty nest syndrome. She turned to over medicating herself with opioids. After spending two years of spiraling out of control and of course being caught, she advocated for herself to be given the chance to attend Drug Court. She currently holds the position of Resource Referral Manager and Outreach Specialist. She now knows what she was put on this earth to achieve and she has only just begun.
