I began my journey of being a dog groomer back in 1999 at a vet clinic in St Marys, Georgia.  The vet needed a groomer and I needed something to call my own.  After years of grooming horses and family dogs I decided it was something I was meant to do.  With the good wishes of the vet I began grooming and have not looked back.  While I didn't train with any particular person, I think of many people as my mentors, guides and coaches.  Education is never completed.  Tools and methods change all the time I and strive to keep up with the best at all times.  Through many different avenues I continue to learn and push myself to be better every day

I am also involved with the dog show world.  I own and show Miniature Pinschers and Chinese Cresteds and have several dogs of my own. I do try to travel to at least one dog show a month.  I  have a couple of very annoying cats, and four children, two still at home.  

I'm also very lucky to have a husband who cooks dinner most nights and washes the dishes so I can work harder at building the grooming business.  Without his support ( and good cooking) I would not have gotten this far.
