Summary

I am a professionally trained dog groomer through apprenticeship with 10 plus years of experience. I have worked with three grooming salons and have done grooming in my home. I have been retired for several years but began to miss my work and have decided to re-enter the workforce.

I am experienced in advanced grooming techniques as well as experienced in handling different breeds and temperaments of dogs. I know and am skilled in popular cuts. I consider my personality and my customer service skills to be some of my most valuable assets. I work well with others and take pride in my professionalism.

I look forward to discussing this position with you.

Thank you, Mary M. Fields
