Adrienne Craig is a senior policy associate and staff attorney for the Farmed Animal Program at the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI). Since joining AWI in 2022, Adrienne has focused on establishing protections for farmed animals in domestic and international transport, improving industry-backed welfare standards, and monitoring and strengthening state regulatory oversight of on-farm practices. 

Adrienne spent her early career working hands-on with animals—at a companion animal rescue, a veterinary clinic, and a farmed animal sanctuary—where she grew to love and appreciate each animal’s individual personality. Wanting to make broader, systemic changes for animals, she earned her JD magna cum laude from Lewis & Clark Law School and joined AWI after serving as a judicial clerk for two years on the Washington State Court of Appeals.
