Summary

As a chosen career path in the pet care industry, I have dedicated over a decade to not only learning the required skills to succeed, but the supplemental skills to exceed. Never settling for adequate, I continued my education by ensuring I had the most current knowledge and reputable certifications. By pursuing an AKC S.A.F.E. Groomer Certificate and American Red Cross Cat and Dog CPR & First Aid Certificate, I demonstrated my commitment to ensuring the safety and quality of my services.
