Why did you choose dog grooming as a career?
I have always worked with animals. My mom ran a dogsitting business out of our house when I was young. I grew up with 10+ dogs around me at all times. When I moved from Washington State to Florida for college I realized that I wanted to work with animals.
I started working at a groom and boarding shop and I had the wonderful opportunity to see the grooming process firsthand. I knew immediately that I wanted be a dog groomer and that was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
Working with dogs is so rewarding and everyday is a new and exciting experience!
What did you enjoy most during your coursework?
I enjoyed the video lessons the most! To be able to be taught from some of the best and most established groomers in the world? You never hear of opportunities like that!
Where can we see your work?

What are your future goals?
I want to do the best I can possibly do for the animal, and for the client!
