This Paragon Rising Star's Burning Passion Produces Professional Results
Meet Paragon Rising Star and Pet Groomer Grad Madelyn Gibbs of Countryside Pet Grooming in Crozet, Virginia! Madelyn’s passion for animals and knack for grooming work consistently produced stunning results, and we’re so happy that she found our Facebook group to be a valuable resource during her education.
Her mentor Brandy Mayes tells us, “Madelyn is showing a natural talent for grooming and consistently wows me with her submissions! She frequently posts on our Facebook group wanting feedback and looking for ways to improve. She has a bright future ahead of her and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for her!”
Why did you choose dog grooming as a career?
I stepped away from my career in horses and wanted to do something with animals. I started as a bather and after going to an expo in Hershey, I decided I wanted to do more!
What did you enjoy most during your coursework?
I love getting critiques from my mentor and my coworkers and learning new techniques.
Where can we see your work?
I work at Countryside Pet Grooming, so our business Facebook page and my personal Facebook!
What are your future goals?
To compete with my black standard poodle, Franklin!
