Asheville, NC
Irene Bagwell writes about pets, family, and the quiet art of caring for living things from her small farm outside Asheville, North Carolina. A licensed veterinary technician for fourteen years before she turned to full-time writing, Irene brings clinical knowledge and deep compassion to every article. Her work on Writly covers animal health, pet adoption, and family life with a gentle, reassuring voice that never talks down to readers. She and her husband share their home with three rescue dogs, a flock of chickens, and a rotating cast of foster kittens. Irene also volunteers with a local animal-assisted therapy program, bringing dogs into schools and nursing homes. She believes the human-animal bond is one of life’s purest gifts.
