Briana Ryan
Volunteer Coordinator
Before joining our staff in June 2024, Briana had been volunteering with POMDR for about two years, leading adoption events, fostering dogs, and organizing fundraising events, including our Pilates, Pups and Pints series. She was involved in dog rescue even before that, volunteering with a local dog rescue in New York City before moving to California.
Briana spent nine years in business operations in the technology/venture capital sector. She now employs her organizational and problem-solving skills to help senior dogs and senior people, a mission she is deeply passionate about. She is also a dedicated runner and can often be found on the local trails. She has been running ultramarathons for the past six years and has completed distances up to 100 miles!
Briana holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Florida and a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from CUNY John Jay.
