Summary

Finding a career to fulfill my passion to work with animals didn’t come right away. I thought I wanted to become a Vet Tech but once I decided to try and go to school for it I quickly realized it didn’t involved enough time with the animal as I had hoped. Then I found out about grooming. I started out bathing dogs for another groomer. After quickly learning the ropes of bathing I continued to learn grooming from her. Within a couple of months I was taking on my own clients. We also attended seminars across the country which also helped expand my techniques.
