Rising Star and Groom Tech Grad: Grooming Natural Sharpens Her Skills
Meet Rising Star and Paragon Certified Groom Tech Cassidy Thacker of Petsense in Murfreesboro, Tennessee! Cassidy continually surprised and impressed us with how quickly she’d “just get it” when being taught a new skill or technique. She’s a born pet groomer and we can’t wait to see what’s next for her!
Just ask her mentor, Suesan Watson, who tells us, “Cassidy has been a perfect student, and her work in the program has been above her level. But she was still eager to see her critiques and apply them to her next skill. I was excited to see what she was ready to turn in next. I know as she continues on this journey that, she will shine and grow into the groomer she wants to become. Thank you, Cassidy, for being so focused, and congratulations on a job well done!”
