I grew up on a cattle farm in Virginia. I have owned and trained our family dogs since I was 8. I have worked in the restaurant industry for the last 10 years—both as a Franchisee and for the Corporate office where I trained franchise owners and their teams. I have always loved working with animals, and now I get to help families build a better relationship with their dogs!

I grew up in the Houston area in a house full of animals. While attending Sam Houston State University I began training with Dog Training Elite as a Service Dog client. During this time I quickly realized just how much joy there was in seeing the tremendous progress my own dog made throughout the program. My unruly and dog reactive shelter pup turned into a well mannered service dog…the training was life changing for me. Upon graduating from SHSU with my BFA in Media Production I decided that I wanted to help others have the opportunity to experience this program by becoming a Trainer with DTE. I know first hand just how amazing this company is. I have always worked in the service industry and enjoy helping people connect with their furry friends in order to bring out their best in all that they can do. I currently reside with my cat, who thinks he runs the world, and my sweet service dog “Fish”. I love that I get to do this life changing work every day!
