Kim Meneo

Senior Manager, Strategic Communications, Communications

Kim works closely with program staff and other members of the communications team to develop and execute strategies that inform, inspire, and engage audiences about animal welfare issues around the world. By leveraging digital platforms, email, print media, and more, she ensures targeted engagement that builds awareness and drives action. She also plays a key role in amplifying AWI’s advocacy initiatives and Action Center.

Kim holds bachelor’s degrees in English and environmental science from Connecticut College and a master’s in communication from Johns Hopkins University. Prior to joining AWI in 2021, she worked for several conservation-focused nonprofits in New England, as well as for an advertising agency as a content strategist.

Growing up on the coast with a plethora of pets, Kim has a lifelong appreciation for all animals—both on land and in the water—and a deep commitment to improving their welfare. These beliefs fueled her professional studies and personal passions, which meld together in the digital space, where she utilizes her skills to help increase public awareness of the issues affecting animals and inspire widespread action.

Kim shares her home with dog-and-cat duo Luna and Winston. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, spending time at the beach, kayaking, and hiking trails throughout New England.
