I am always so impressed with the extreme detail in her work and I know that Angela is going to do something great in this industry.
From Angela:
Why did you choose dog grooming as a career?
I chose to be a dog groomer because I have spent much of my life working with animals. I spent a lot of my youth volunteering with veterinary offices, humane societies, and animal shelters because I just loved being around animals.
My love for animals didn’t just stop with cats and dogs. I even worked with reptiles and small animals whether through career choices or volunteer opportunities as well. I had no idea I was going to one day become a dog groomer when I started working for Pet Supplies Plus in Spring Hill, Florida.
I got to know the other groomers and asked a lot of questions. I found out about the Paragon program. The opportunity seemed like the right choice and I knew I would enjoy it, but I had no idea I would love it as much as I do. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made and my only regret is not having done it sooner.
What did you enjoy most during your coursework?
I enjoyed learning about canine behavior and how to better understand their body language in the grooming salon.
Are you currently employed, or still looking?
I am currently employed.
What are your future goals?
I would like to continue expanding my grooming knowledge and not just be limited to dogs. I would like to be able to groom cats and small animals as well.
