Groom Tech Grad Driven by Dream to Work With Animals
Meet Rising Star and Groom Tech Grad Jenifer Travelstead from Pet Supplies Plus in Mount Vernon, IL, who is driven by her dream to work with animals.
According to Mentor Suesan Watson: “Jenifer was super focused and performed the skills she needed on point. She has what it takes to be a great groomer one day, I cannot wait to see how well she does in level 2, nothing seems to hold her back. She sees it and she goes for it. Great job!”
Why did you choose dog grooming as a career?
I have always wanted a job working with animals, and I couldn’t imagine anything better than playing with dogs all day!
What did you enjoy most during your coursework?
I enjoyed learning all the new skills throughout the program, and I am excited to continue to learn more.
Any advice for aspiring groomers?
The best advice I could give to aspiring groomers is to have patience. Every dog you groom will need your patience in one way or another. Giving that to them will not only ensure their safety and yours, but as well as make for a successful groom.
