Taking Down Animal Abusers and Breast Cancer with April Doherty

April Doherty has dedicated her career to seeing that animal abusers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. As a paralegal with the Baltimore County State’s Attorney Office for the past 18 years, April shares her experiences witnessing animal abuse and neglect cases being taken more seriously by all players in the criminal justice system.  April’s impressive resume also includes training and educating law enforcement – both home and abroad! We also talk about the emotional toll that this work can take and why self-care is so important.

April also opens up about being diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2020. Her vulnerable social media sharing about this journey are helping women – including me! – with processing all the emotions that come from facing this diagnosis and learning to live this next chapter of life.

In her “spare time,” April also helped create the Love Leads Project, is a Show Your Soft Side “Softie,” works at Grand View Farm and is certified as a personal trainer.
