Summary

I have worked extremely hard to get to where i am now, moving on from my old career and working my way up in the dog grooming industry. I have cared for dogs my whole life and shown great consideration for their need to be comfortable and loved since a young age. I am dependable and will work hard for what I am passionate about. I have completed an iPet level 3 course, becomming fully qualified and have been working in dog grooming salons for almost 2 years. I would now love the opportunity to grow in new positive surroundings.
