Victoria Park Paw Spa

I am a Florida Native. Born and raised in Miami, Florida.  After graduating high school, I was undecided of my career path, so I attended a vocational college and obtained my cosmetology license as a Nail Technician.  I did this part-time while working full time at a local hospital for 7 years as the Materials Management Supervisor.  Several years later I married and landed a job at a Medical Surgical Distributor as a General Manager for the next 12 years.  During this time, I also became a mother and obtained my Associates in Science Degree in the field of Nursing.  I’ve held many hats throughout the years which also included being a Realtor and an Assistant Community Manager for Gables Residential earning multiple awards and achievements. In 2013, I decided I wanted a change in my career and decided to pursue something I was more passionate about that dealt in the industry involving animals.  After much research, it was then that I chose to learn the field of pet grooming.  I graduated with a Diploma in Pet Grooming in 2014 from a State Accredited school, Merryfield School of Pet Grooming in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.  I was trained by National Certified Master Groomers on how to groom breeds according to breed standards set forth by the NDGAA (National Dog Groomers Association of America).  I am currently an active member of the NDGAA and have been for the past 7 years.

 I have successfully completed a Pet Tech Saver Training Program, learning the skills and techniques of Pet CPR, First Aid and Care.  I myself am a pet owner and have owned many different varieties of pets throughout the years which include dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, ferrets, gerbils and 7 horses.  Yes, I am an animal lover and I have loved each and all of them unconditionally.  Working with animals is my passion and my promise to you as your Pet Groomer is that I will love your pet just as if it was my own.  I will care for your pet, be patient and kind with them and I will do what is best for your pet while in my care and I will stand by the fact Comfort must come before Vanity!
