I earned a bachelors degree in the science of health and wellness, but there was nothing out there that was really appealing to me. I needed to find a new path. I knew this new path would need to be something that I love doing, would keep me busy, be challenging, rewarding, and give me a sense of pride. My love for animals has always been deeply rooted within me, hence my rescuing of stray dogs from other countries, while in the military. I’m not really sure when becoming a groomer clicked, but once it did, there was no doubt in my mind that this is what I wanted to do. I learned everything I could, I set myself up with a certified trainer, learned about different breeds, temperaments, coats, nails, ears, teeth, health conditions, and more. The more I learned, the more I knew this is what I wanted to do. I am so happy with this decision and I can’t wait to serve, even though in a very different capacity.
