Grand Rapids MI Rising Star Turns Heads at Paragon Through Hard Work and Natural Talent
Meet Rising Star and soon-to-be Pet Groomer Grad Alexis Nguyen of Pet Supplies Plus in Grand Rapids, Michigan! Alexis has an innate knack for grooming, and we can tell she truly enjoys the process and working with animals through her work. Her assignments are always top notch and we’re sure she’ll have a very successful career!
When we asked her mentor Pricilla Wall, she told us Alexis has been showcasing her natural talent since her time in the Groom Tech Program. She continues, “Her love for grooming shows in every submission she makes. She is an asset to the grooming industry!”
Why did you choose dog grooming as a career?
I’ve known my whole life I wanted to work with dogs in some way. It took me a couple of years to figure out what that would be, but after becoming a bather and seeing groomers work up close, I knew that this was something I could do, and enjoy for a very, very long time.
What did you enjoy most during your coursework?
I enjoyed being able to have a coach to work with and to ask any questions whenever needed. Without the help of my coach Pricilla, I wouldn’t be going through these courses so smoothly. Pricilla has made this so rewarding with all of the sweet compliments and encouragement she gives me. This process has been so exciting!
Where can we see your work?
I’m hoping to make a page of some sort once I am graduated!
Any advice for aspiring groomers?
Don’t be afraid to ask questions! whether that be with your coach or even asking a colleague. Step out of your comfort zone and have fun!
