Growing up in Northern Wisconsin, a love of the outdoors and animals was a way of life. So after high school, pursuing an education involving animals was a no-brainer. I began my journey by attending the Wisconsin School of Professional Pet Grooming. After graduating, my adventurous spirit took me to Texas where I honed my skills in grooming centers of all types and sizes. Working full-time as a groomer allowed me to pay my way through college and earn a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Texas at Arlington.

Wisconsin called me back home in 2001 where I would eventually open Gentle Paws Pet Grooming in Appleton, WI. I created Gentle Paws to share my passion for personalized, compassionate and exceptional pet grooming with pets and owners, alike. I am a member or the International Pet Groomers Association and Winnegamie Dog Club. I’ve earned certificates in canine coat and skin care through the Wisconsin Association of Professional Pet Groomers and attend regular pet CPR and first-aid trainings.

In my spare time, I love walking my golden retrievers Rain and Champ, reading and couch-surfing with my husband, Steve and cat, Heather (not always in that order). I’m grateful to be chosen as the person who makes a positive difference in your pet’s life. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon!

I owe it all to Sharkey the springer spaniel! Sharkey was my dad’s hunting dog and my best friend. She and I would spend our summer days playing by the creek and exploring the woods near our house. Her coat would inevitably get covered in burs and I’d gladly spend hours gently removing them and brushing her out. I found it soothing, brushing her and bonding with her. That’s when I knew I wanted a career that involved dogs. I started my grooming career right after high school beginning with professional Grooming School and a two year apprenticeship. Now with over 20 years of experience, I have learned every hairstyle for nearly every breed of dog! It’s my passion to not only have your dog look its best but feel comfortable and to have a positive experience too. I truly enjoy helping families with dogs who may find the grooming experience difficult and/or stressful.
