About Me
I grew up in a house full of dogs and have never been able to bear life without them.
If you’re here, I’m guessing you get it. Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, mood boosters, walking partners, and a reason to smile every single day. And when life’s thrown me curveballs, I’ve always turned back to them. During the pandemic, I became a professional pet groomer. Today, I’m a regular volunteer at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison, NJ. Dogs have always been my fallback—and my first love.
But my “real job”? For 15 years, I led teams in the corporate healthcare world, most recently managing the entire Northeast from DC to Boston, with 13 professionals reporting directly to me. I had the salary, the benefits, the corner office… and the constant sense that something was missing. I spent too many hours in airports and hotel lobbies dreaming about getting back to working with animals.
In late 2024, corporate downsizing made that decision for me. I could’ve jumped right back into another leadership role. But instead, I chose something bolder—something that had been gnawing at me for years: building a professional, client-first pet care business that brings together my leadership experience and my lifelong passion for animals.
