​

I’m a South Louisiana native who relocated to Michigan, where I now serve pet owners nationwide through virtual dog training. My career in the animal industry spans more than 16 years, and today I balance my passion for training with my work in veterinary sales. I began my journey as an Animal Welfare Officer, where I learned to read canine body language and safely handle animals—skills that sparked my lifelong commitment to helping dogs and their people.

Since 2011, I’ve worked as a Veterinary Technician, starting at LSU School of Veterinary Medicine before moving into private practice, and I continue to keep my hands-on skills sharp by assisting at spay/neuter clinics. Along the way, I’ve fostered, trained, and rehabilitated countless dogs, guiding them into loving forever homes. I’ve also had the privilege of task training service and facility dogs for several non-profit organizations, with graduates placed alongside their handlers across the United States. Every step of my career has deepened my understanding of canine behavior and strengthened my commitment to providing each dog in my care with exceptional, knowledgeable guidance.
