Tina has been an animal lover since she was a little girl and that love is still going strong. She grew up on Long Island where during her high school years she attended and completed a 2 year small animal course. She also worked part-time cleaning kennels at a local Boarding/Grooming facility. In 1987 she moved to Lake Wales with her family and completed high school. After graduating she worked at several facilities as a kennel and veterinary technician. In 2003 she went to work for a local grooming facility to learn the art of pet grooming. In April of 2005 she was offered a position as a groomer at VCA Lake Wales Animal Hospital. Soon after, the construction of Suite Dreams Boarding & Grooming started and in 2007 the doors were opened. She has been here from the beginning and still loves it. Working with animals is and has always been her greatest love and passion.
