Why did you choose dog grooming as a career?
My passion for pets. Before grooming, I did dog training, volunteer work at the local shelter, and was a Veterinary Assistant. I want to be a jack of all trades in the pet care industry and learn everything I can!
What did you enjoy most during your coursework?
Learning all the different techniques to build a better relationship with the pets, and in turn that trust leading to a better relationship with their parents!
Where can we see your work?
I have multiple pets posted on my personal Facebook page and will be adding more to the Paragon student Facebook page.
Any advice for aspiring groomers?
You can never ask for enough feedback. Trust your mentor and ask for advice!
