I have been an animal enthusiast from a very young age. I was born and raised in Connecticut, but moved down to FL in my early teens. As the baby of four children, you could usually find me cuddled up with one of my pets or begging to take home the latest cutey I saw in a pet store. I knew I loved animals, but I didn’t know what I could do besides being a vet. However, a vet degree requires grades, funds and resources I didn’t have access to.

Lacking confidence and a plan, I went on to serve 4 years in the military. The Army helped me to find the courage and confidence I needed and I began taking online courses to become a vet technician. I decided that if I was going to develop a career, I would do something I truly loved. However, as time passed, I fell into grooming needing fast and reliable income. I soon realized that as a groomer I had 100% involvement with clients. Being a stylist was making me happy, fulfilled, and allowed me to be creative and express myself. I went on to dedicate 4 years of training in the pet grooming industry. In doing so, I learned every position and the responsibilities within a grooming salon: a bather, assistant, pet groomer and manager. I decided to conquer them all. Now as a pet groomer and small business owner id like to recreate that mom-and-pop feel in my salon. A welcoming family environment filled with compassion. This allows me to be more personal with my clients. Taking in all that I learned, I created an environment that would feel like my home away from home. Doggo Den LLC is one of my proudest achievements. I always say, “it’s not a job if it’s something you love!” I believe we should all create that Den somewhere in our lives. Welcome to the Doggo Den!

Experienced in breed standard cuts for Portuguese water dogs, Australian Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers

I have always had a special love for dogs. As a little girl I used to walk around my house pretending to be a dog, it was then my parents knew I'd eventually work with animals. For a long time I wanted to go to school for Veterinary Medicine, I started school and got a job as a veterinarians assistant I loved the job at first but as I got more and more experienced with the job it became very sad and hard for me to handle. I thought long and hard about what I could do next, one day I was washing a dog in animal care at the vet and I found myself in a very happy place so I decided that I would try to find a job at a local dog groomer to see if that was something I really did enjoy and it sure enough I found what o was most passionate about. I worked hard for about 3 years as a bather and eventually got moved up to a groomer and I have been grooming full time for about 2 years now. I am a

proud owner of 3 pure bred American Bully's and an amazing little Jack Russell terrier! I look forward to meeting everyone and loving your furry kids just as much as I love my own!
