Why did you choose dog grooming as a career?
I worked at a grooming shop in high school and have spent my whole life working with dogs. After taking a couple of years off, I realized how much I missed working in a grooming shop and decided to further my education.
What did you enjoy most during your coursework?
Doing the actual grooms! I loved watching my improvements after every groom.
Where can we see your work?

What are your future goals?
I would like to learn more breed-specific grooms and potentially even compete in the future!
Any advice for aspiring groomers?
