“After working in the hospitality industry for many years, I decided to change careers. I wanted to find a profession that I would be passionate about and love. Animals have been one of my biggest passions my entire life. Growing up, my family always had dogs. My parents had a book about different dog breeds that I would go over endlessly as a child. By the time I was in junior high that poor book was so worn the pages were falling apart and the cover fell off!

I decided to give grooming a try. I enrolled at Merryfeld School of Grooming, not knowing what to expect. Long story short, I cannot imagine doing anything else now. I love grooming and I am obsessed with making pets look beautiful and feel comfortable. I had many great teachers that have not only taught me the art of traditional dog and cat grooming but of hand stripping and creative grooming as well. I am always furthering my education through seminars and webinars. It’s great fun!

I love animals! I adore dogs and they will always have a special place in my heart.”
