I am a Senior Dog Groomer trained to a high standard. I hold my City and Guilds Level 3 Diploma for Dog Stylists and hold 9/10 Level 4 Higher Diploma certifications, i’m currently working towards completing my final module.

My love for dogs started at a young age with my parents always owning dogs and cats. I have 2 Bordier Collies that you'll often see when you visit my salon - Mollie & Ralphie and I compete with both in agility too!

I have been grooming since September 2014 where I undertook my City & Guilds Level 3 Certificates in Introductory Dog Grooming. At the end of the course I was offered a job & worked there for 5 years. By September 2015 I completed my City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma for Professional Dog Stylists (within 1 year of completing my introductory qualification!).

In March 2016 I completed a City & Guilds Level 3 Award in Education and Training to gain my teaching qualification. I have experience teaching students the practical side of grooming as well as educational knowledge.

I competed in the YKC Groomer of the Year Final at Crufts 2017 where I came 2nd in the Senior category with a hand strip Border Terrier! The following day I also competed in the YKC Senior Jumping Final with my Border Collie Mollie – We won our overall height category and came 3rd overall!

I enjoy developing my skills & always feel there is more to learn within this industry! I like to push myself to learn new skills and the achievements & qualifications that come with them. I do this by attending educational events, seminars & workshops to keep up date with the ever-changing industry of the grooming world.

In November 2019 I opened my own dog grooming business - I love to groom all breeds of dogs and always strive to ensure that they enjoy the grooming process as much as I do! I endeavour to meet all clients requirements - So whether its hand-stripping, clipping, scissoring, breed standards, pet trims or a bit of everything - My aim is always 100% client satisfaction, for both the dog and their owner!
