Todd Errath

Community Outreach & Philanthropic Officer

Hello, WINC! My name is Todd Errath, and I am excited to join the WINC family as the new Community Outreach and Philanthropy Officer. My goal is to increase WINC brand awareness and cultivate new donor relationships.

My path to WINC was certainly unexpected. After my wife passed away in August of 2024 after a brave 19-month battle with Pancreatic Cancer, I was looking for a new calling, something which could utilize my 25+ years of marketing experience, but would also allow me to connect with and honor her. My wife’s love for animals was immense, often trying to convince me we needed to start our own WINC in our spacious backyard.

If any of you would like to learn more about my wife and her journey, I created a website to showcase and honor her, and also to inspire and empathize with others who endured a horrific journey like we did. Visit ShareYourAndreaStory.com to learn more.

Sarah Kraemer

Education Coordinator

Sarah Kraemer has rooted her sense of purpose in the wellbeing of animals, and is most proud of her work when she is enriching their lives in some way. As an undergraduate at UW Madison, she worked as a lab assistant to several primatologists: sometimes coding behavioral data remotely on muriqui monkeys in Brazil, and sometimes trekking through the rainforest to observe pygmy marmosets in the wild in Ecuador!

In 2015, she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology and Psychology. For three years after that, she worked at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center as part of the rhesus macaque and common marmoset care staff, where she worked hard to make edible enrichment devices they could sink their teeth into.

Then, in 2019, she moved to Scotland to conduct her own research with tufted capuchins at Edinburgh Zoo. As of 2025, she is the Education Coordinator at WINC!

Whether she’s tracking animals in the forest, working with their datapoints on the page, or educating visitors about them, her passions have always been focused on their care. She is enthusiastic about imparting that same attention to compassion within science to everyone who comes to the Wildlife In Need Center to learn!
