As the Salon Manager at Sol Dog Lodge, I’m proud to combine my love for dogs with over a decade of grooming experience. I’ve been grooming since 2012 and have worked with dogs of every breed, size, and temperament. My goal is to make sure every dog who walks through our doors feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

I oversee the grooming salon’s daily operations, from managing our talented team to maintaining the high standards of care that define who we are. I’m also a certified Canine CPR instructor and take pride in ensuring that our entire grooming process prioritizes safety, compassion, and the well-being of each dog. I’m passionate about helping clients feel confident that their pets are in skilled and caring hands, and I take time to ensure that each dog’s individual needs are met with patience and understanding. I believe grooming is about more than just how a dog looks, it’s about trust and comfort. Every dog deserves to feel safe and cared for, and I love being part of that process.

Outside of the salon, I stay busy pursuing new goals and finding ways to challenge myself. I’m an Air Force ROTC cadet at the University of Arizona, working toward a degree in Cyber Operations with an emphasis in forensics and defense. Balancing school, ROTC, and my work at Sol Dog has taught me discipline, time management, and the importance of teamwork, skills that carry over into every part of my life.

When I’m not working or studying, I enjoy hiking with my husband and our Labrador, Sully, or spending time at the gym. I’ve been an OrangeTheory member for four years and love pushing myself to reach new goals. Whether I’m training, learning, or grooming, I’m happiest when I’m growing and helping others, both people and dogs, do the same.
