Amanda Johnson
Summary
My goal in the workplace is to provide a positive and professional atmosphere and performance. I have found an enormous amount of enjoyment being involved in the journey between a pet and their owner. Creating close bonds with my clients through their pets has encouraged compassion and love for my job. Being hands on and creative has been essential in my field of work. I enjoy helping others and animals through the love of feeling comfortable and clean.
After having children I knew I wanted to extend my compassion though not only dogs and owners, but people with health needs. I plan on attending nursing school in the future and would love to make the step forward working in healthcare. As I continue grooming part time, I am looking for an entry level third shift position working around healthcare.
