I starting training in 2015 and have loved every day since! Training is an honor and a passion for me. I am originally from Texas, where I went to St. Mary’s University and graduated with a degree in Sociology. 

I have four beautiful personal dogs and really enjoy competing with them in Dock Diving, FastCat, Scent Work, Rally, and Trick Training! My training journey started because of my amazing dog Ava.  Ava led me to a wonderful trainer in Texas who helped me train her as my service dog. He ultimately became my mentor and friend! His mentorship and my sweet Ava helped me find my life calling, and for that I will forever be grateful!

I have worked with so many different breeds and met so many amazing owners in the process. I specialize in young puppies; setting them up in developmentally appropriate ways to be the best versions of themselves as adults. I also teach general obedience for any age of dog, as well as Trick Training.

I am privileged to have 9 years of experience training service dogs with an emphasis on medical alert dogs and am very excited to also be a part of the Sunrise Service Dog team here.

I am overjoyed to be a part of the Under The Sun team and I can’t wait to get to know all of my future clients and their wonderful dogs to start making a difference in their bond!
