My journey began when I started working at a pet grooming and boarding facility as their receptionist and kennel tech. I saw the groomer transform dogs from shaggy poof balls into beautifully sculpted works of art. I fell in love. I set out on my heartfelt mission to become a dog groomer. I soon became an apprentice at a second grooming salon that was closer to my home while I attended Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Texas where I graduated with a degree in Business Administration. After graduation I relocated to Alabama. Over the years I have worked at multiple different shops. By doing this, I have gathered knowledge on new and innovative ideas, I have seen firsthand what systems work best, as well as what does not work. I have combined all of these ideas to create the most efficient and comfortable grooming experience for the dogs and owners alike!

"My love of animals goes as far back as I can remember, and that love is exactly why I became a dog groomer. I first became a bather at The Wizard of Paws and I was immediately fascinated with how a messy, dirty dog could become a pristine work of art with the right attention to detail and loving care. Shortly after, I became an apprentice under Elizabeth to learn to groom. I am happy to be able to provide that same loving care and to be able to make every dog I work with into a happy little work of art."
