Kristina Lamas, CFRE, is Chief Philanthropy & Communications Officer where she oversees all aspects of fundraising for the organization. With nearly 20 years of experience in philanthropy, she has worked in leadership positions for multiple-sized shops. Her passions include animals, art and nature which led her to work for animal welfare, museums and environmental organizations in Alaska, California, Oregon and New York.

Kristina’s love of philanthropy came from assisting her mother with various charity fundraisers from a very young age. Since then she has served on multiple fundraising committees and boards throughout the years but her favorite volunteer position has been as a Pasadena Humane Foster Volunteer. She currently lives in Altadena with her husband, daughter and two dogs, Mr. Mosley and Higgins (both adopted from Pasadena Humane, of course!).
