Summary


My fundamental of learning grooming comes from being an Office Manager of a Japanese-owned and operated salon. When I decided I wanted to pursue becoming a groomer after Covid. I studied grooming at a grooming academy based in Malaysia and briefly in Japan. Higher education is something I'm very passionate about. I have my grooming Master's Degree in Terriers, working towards my Master's Degree in Cat grooming, I have attended countless seminars both within the U.S and internationally.


On my off time, I enjoy competing in grooming competitions. I have competed in Japan, Mexico, and the World Championship of Grooming in Belgium. (beginner class)
