Summary

Over the last 8 years I have been invested in pet grooming. I very much enjoy this job but it has been hard on my body so I’m looking to take a step back from this physically demanding job and focus more on the people side of things! I know each job will have a physical aspect, which I’m not trying to escape, just something that’s a little more expecting. I have a passion for helping people and figuring out the best solution to make things as easy for everyone as possible. I’m always willing to grow and learn more things!
