I was drawn to dog training at a young age where I began raising and training service dogs, volunteering for Fidelco and Guiding eyes for the blind where I’m currently raising my eighth guide dog. Each dog has taught me something different and valuable about dog training. I have been a professional do trainer since 2018, and a volunteer puppy raiser since 2010.

I have an associates degree in animal science and a bachelors degree in natural resources and the environment from UCONN. I currently reside in the eastern section of Connecticut, and share my home with a variety of animals including two German shepherds, a Shiloh shepherd, cats, rats, and reptiles.

I currently focus on service dog training, scent sports, and basic obedience. I am currently working on a certification for man trailing, and can help you find the right sport for your dog along with service dog training.
