My absolute favorite part of being a groomer is the lasting relationships I build with the pups and their parents. I genuinely look forward to seeing the dogs I care for during every visit, even the feisty ones! We celebrate milestones together, like overcoming fears (trimming their nails), celebrating birthdays, and welcoming new family members. We also share tender moments as the pups age and need more gentle care. Outside of my life at The Sudsy Pup, my greatest joy is spending quality time with my two boys, aged 10 and 5. We love going on weekend trips and discovering new places together. Yoga and meditation are my go-to for relaxation and inner peace. Plus, my love for the outdoors and nature constantly draws me to outdoor adventures, where I can truly appreciate the beauty of the natural world.

I love grooming dogs because it brings together my profound passion for these wonderful animals and the fulfilling feeling of contributing to their health and happiness. I'm all about my kids; their laughter is my world. And of course my pups : Peggy, Juice, Frank and Beans! Each day as a groomer, I get to form unique connections with these furry clients, building trust and affection. The creative aspect of grooming, where I can express their individuality and enhance their beauty, adds an extra layer of enjoyment to my work. It's a profession that aligns perfectly with my love for dogs, allowing me to make a meaningful impact on their lives, one grooming session at a time. And when I have a bit of free time, I like to dabble in silver smithing for that extra sparkle in life. I am always working to keep growing my skills and loving pets!

I LOVE snugglin' all the doggos! I got into the pet industry through rescue work (this is also when I realized that every foster pet I take in will end as a foster fail). I like traveling to cool places - especially places with significant historical backgrounds! I strive to Continue building my skills and hopefully begin branching out more into creative grooming a little more - Funky fun haircuts with super fun colors! I pretty much run an in-home zoo. From dogs to Tortoises - and practically everything in between. I have 3 dogs (Henni, Kona & Scarlette), a kitty (vincent), 5 turtles (turt, yert, kurt, bert & squirt), a sulcata tortoise (sir heimlich), an axolotl (greg) and way too many fish to count. 

I love being able to be artistic, to see a project from start to finish, and to make each dog look what I hope to be the best, fanciest, most spiffy version of themselves. Bichons are my favorite breed to groom. I also really love grooming poodles, all terrier breeds and shih tzus. I love to travel and experience new things! I love to scuba dive. I love to see new parts of the world. I love making yummy foods and trying new recipes. I also paint, go to yoga and occasionally read a book. I also love my sweet boys Walter & Toast! 

I've always connected to animals very easily. I've had uncanny relationship with anything from as big as a cow to as small as a fish. I also enjoy exercising creativity!  I would also love to compete or practice daily creative grooming with carving and dying techniques. I like to go kayaking, swimming, nature walks when I leave the house but when I'm home I like to videogame, write poetry, paint, and build miniature models. I have over 50 fish of several different species,  a ball python named old man Jenkins,  two leopard geckos named Maurice and Barry, and a German shepherd named Indiana!

I like that I’m helping the pets be comfortable and clean, while also making them look their best for their parents! I am working to become a well-rounded groomer that can work on any breed thrown my way. My pup's name is Daisy. She is a red tri Australian shepherd. I have known her since the day she was born and I picked her out of the litter. We have the same birthday and we love learning new tricks to show off. Daisy and I did 4h dog training for about 4 years where we competed in obedience, showmanship and agility! Agility was always her favorite and she won many blue ribbons! Overall Daisy and I are best friends and love time spent together!

Even the worst days aren’t so bad when I’m working with dogs! I love being able to help our furry friends feel lighter with a big deshed or be able to walk better with a good nail trim! I love kayaking, hiking, and playing video games when the weather doesn’t let me do the other fun stuff. I love my two golden retrievers so much, they are exact opposites in every way! My girl Zaya is small and very high energy, while my boy Sammy is big and lazy. The only thing they have in common is their love of food (and me, but I come second to food of course) 

I  love being able to work with all types of dogs everyday and be in a positive environment. I love to sing, draw, hang out with friends, play with animals, play the piano and ukulele, swim at the beach, and go on car rides with my favorite music blasting. Eventually, I’d love to learn how to become a groomer and work in business to possibly open my own shop way out in the future.

My favorite part about working with dogs is being given the opportunity to really change a pup’s life. I love building long-lasting relationships with dogs that are freshly rescued, or pups that maybe haven’t had the best grooming experiences in the past. It is really rewarding to see a once anxious and timid dog blossom into a happy playful pup! I love road trips! I have driven across the country multiple times and my Subaru who I've named ‘Gale’ has seen every state except Hawaii and Alaska! On these trips I love to stop and hike, explore, and take pictures with my professional camera! When I’m not traveling I am at home drawing, reading, or taking care of all my reptiles whom I have affectionately dubbed my ‘zoo’. I am still figuring out how I want to shape my future and what goals id like to set out for, but I do know that I like to make people happy, I also like to take care of animals and show them that not all humans are bad. And as long as I keep those two things in mind I think i’ll be okay. :)

It’s always fun taking to clients about their pups, it’s something that makes them genuinely happy and it’s a family environment. A lot of new clients are nervous about getting their pups groomed, and it’s relieving for them to know we care about their pups as much as they do ❤️ I’m super interested in spirituality and true crime, I love reading thrillers and drawing flowers and other nature related things. My fiancé and I go on nature walks together at local parks. Career wise I’m interested in going back to school sometime in 2024. I enjoy being a receptionist, but I’m open to wherever life takes me. I have 3 kitties 🐱 gizmo and Vader are siblings, and Hershey is my 8 year old lady
