Dog Grooming Expert

What experience do you have in this industry?

I have 8 years experience in the animal industry. I was a pet sitter for several years before getting into grooming and pet retail. I have volunteered at the RSPCA, the MacIntyre Centre (Horse Riding for the Disabled) and currently volunteer at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary during uni holidays. I am currently studying Applied Science at UQ in wildlife science and vet nursing and hope to get into Veterinary Science after graduation.

What is your favourite type of dog?

Giant Breeds - St Bernards, Irish Wolfhounds, English Mastiffs... I love them all though!

What pets do you have?

A St Bernard named Fedor, after the mixed martial arts world heavyweight champion, two moggie cats - Jellybean and Tornak, a Green Cheek Conure named Leiferd (dutch for “lovely one”) and an Eclectus Parrot named Kane who says lots of things, like “peekaboo” and “I love you”.

Favourite part of working at Paddington Pups?

Seeing pups so excited to come in of a morning and see us - some are so excited they forget to say good-bye to mum or dad! We must be doing something right...!
