​

 Having always loved animals, I knew early I wanted to pursue a career working with dogs. I grew up around working K9s, and have always been fascinated by dogs' ability to work alongside humans to enrich our lives! I began my experience in dog training with an internship with a K9 unit, and have since earned my title as a scent detection K9 trainer and handler! I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Psychology with a focus in Animal Science, and have been training dogs for nearly ten years! My experience varies widely from group and private obedience, behavior modification, to scent work, to working with service and therapy animals. I am passionate about building trusting relationships between dogs and their humans, and helping families learn how to communicate effectively with their pets!
