Kevin Ferra (in his own words): Founding Partner of Ferra Executive Search, a boutique recruitment firm that focuses on the higher education and healthcare industries. I originally named my dog “Oprah” in honor of my grandmother that suffered from dementia to help as a memory recall for others suffering as I wanted to train her to become a therapy dog. That quickly turned into sponsoring 21 dogs to receive full therapy dog training as the “Therapy Dogs Of Pittsburgh“. This group is already providing an outlet digitally and at universities/hospitals/airport in the area.
