Laura grew up on a farm in rural Pennsylvania surrounded by animals.  At the age of 19, she began her professional career working with animals as the Shelter Manager at the local SPCA and was quickly recognized for her ability to bond and rehabilitate fearful animals. Excelling in this career ultimately brought her to Florida, where she decided to learn the art of pet grooming.  In 2003, Laura enrolled in the Florida Institute of Animal Arts in Winter Park.  After completing their yearlong program and graduating at the top of her class, Laura began her career as a profession pet groomer, working at both corporate and private grooming salons, as well as vet clinics.  Always striving to improve her knowledge and skill, Laura continually attends grooming seminars and stays up to date on the latest trends in the business.  As a proud member of the National Dog Groomers Association of America, Laura is currently working on obtaining her Master Groomer certification.  In addition to her grooming skills, Laura also holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration, as well as an MBA.  With over 20 years of experience working with animals, your pet could not be in more knowledgeable, skilled, and loving hands.
