Why did you choose dog grooming as a career?
I choose this career because I love the immediate gratification that comes with the completion of a beautifully groomed dog. I’ve always loved dogs and have worked with them since I was a young girl, showing dogs in the 4-H program in Southern Idaho. I received many ribbons and rewards!
What did you enjoy most during your coursework?
I’ve enjoyed learning the proper prep work for a good groom. I love blowing out a Curly coat!
Where can we see your work?

What are your future goals?
I’d eventually like to help groom dogs for elderly and disabled communities.
Any advice for aspiring groomers?
