Like many dog groomers, I had always wanted to work with animals, so I began volunteering at Appledown Rescue in Eaton Bray. It was my happy place and my work there eventually led to a Saturday job. I am still a massive supporter, the work they do for dogs that aren't as lucky as yours or mine is irreplicable.

Needing a full time role I landed a job as a grooming assistant. It was a whole new world to me and my working days were still full of joy being surrounded by dogs. I thrived learning all the different theory and practical techniques and soon was promoted to a Stylist role.

Having always had an interest in education, I was thrilled to achieve my first grooming qualification! I gained a City and Guilds Level 3 Certificate in Dog Grooming, before going on to complete my Level 3 Diploma in Professional Pet Styling, teaching qualifications and so much more.

Having worked my way up to a Salon Manager Role and with years of experience under my belt, I was looking for a new challenge. This is when I began teaching at one of the UKs leading grooming schools. Inspiring the next generation of groomers and helping them develop their skills held my heart for many years, and I am still very proud of all I achieved here.

At my first grooming competition, I entered the Asian Fusion Open class. Then, a few months later in Handstrip Open, placing Second. Since then I have achieved over 9 awards including Best Technique and Best Scissored Dog, as well as an image of me being featured in an Asian Style Magazine for May 2024.
