Rising Star and Pet Groomer Grad: This Groomer Is Making Her Dreams Come True
Meet Rising Star and Pet Groomer Grad Lorelei Crivelli of PetSuites in San Antonio, Texas! Lorelei is a rockstar groomer in the making and we’re so impressed with her accomplishments! We’ve also been excited to learn Lorelei has dreams of joining Groom Team USA to compete alongside some of the best groomers around. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for her!
Her mentor Jenn McCarthy was just as impressed, sharing, “Lorelei was an excellent student through level 2! She would always strive to make the dogs look their best. She asked questions when she needed to and applied feedback when given. She got great grades in her coursework and photo submission tests. She will make a great groomer! I am so proud of Lorelei!”
Why did you choose dog grooming as a career?
I have always loved owning and working with animals. I started as a host, then had the opportunity to start this program so I just went for it. I love the creative freedom that grooming encompasses.
What did you enjoy most during your coursework?
All the different types of dog coats I learned about. Learning how to work with each pups unique textures. I loved the actually trimming portion and jumped on that as soon as I could.
Where can we see your work?
I would love to take this to the competitive level. I want to learn how to do show coat grooms and maybe participate in a couple grooming competitions myself!
What are your future goals?
It would be a dream to work with Team USA and groom all around the states!
Any advice for aspiring groomers?
Keep going don’t give up. Even when a groom doesn’t come out perfect, look forward to making sure the next one does. Learn from your mistakes. Look into other resources outside of the program, and ask a lot of questions to fellow groomers in your salon!
