I've been a pet groomer since I was 16 years old. I have felt so fortunate through the years to be able to work at a career I love.

As a teen, I raised and trained puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind and was involved in 4-H- both as a member and a leader. I also have been involved in breeding, showing and obedience training.

The comfort and well-being of the animals I groom has always been top priority for me. I will take the extra time necessary to work with a pet who may need it in order to make sure they realize grooming is a happy and comforting experience for them. Grooming an animal is not only caring for it, but also teaching it to enjoy the process.
