I have been an animal lover all my life. My childhood nickname was even "Beast Master!" Because of my passion for animals, I always knew I wanted to help them in some way when I grew up. I worked at vet hospitals, and even volunteered at a wolf sanctuary in Colorado. But after graduating from Virginia Tech, I found a career in dog training and instantly knew it was what I had been looking for. I found my passion for building healthy, loving relationships between dogs and their owners. My absolute favorite thing is watching dogs and owners "beam" when they overcome an obstacle! I have now been a dog trainer for 5+ years, and I can't wait to continue helping owners and dogs in the Richmond, VA area!
