Rising Star and Pet Groomer Grad: A Self-Motivated and Talented Pet Professional
Meet Rising Star and Pet Groomer Grad Jessica Siorek, an independent groomer in Warren, Michigan! Jessica is a self-starter and we are so impressed by her determination. We can tell she’s doing what she loves and can’t wait to see her launch a salon of her own someday!
Her mentor Lauren Najjir tells us she is a great student, noting, “She has shown natural talent in the Pet Groomer Program as well as staying productive within her timeline.”
Why did you choose dog grooming as a career?
It more so chose me and I never thought I’d love it this much. Once night I saw Girl With The Dogs on YouTube and suddenly it hit me, “why don’t I try that out?” Off I went and never looked back.
What did you enjoy most during your coursework?
Being able to show off my work to my mentor!
Where can we see your work?
Over on my Instagram @jessgroomsdogs_.
What are your future goals?
Short term, establish a clientele in a private salon and continue my learning! I’d love to become AKC Safe Certified as well as get involved in grooming competitions! Long term would be opening my own salon.
Any advice for aspiring groomers?
Never let anyone drag you down. Make sure you create a support system for yourself of people that’ll build you back up when you fall, and of course, keep up the good prep work!
