Christine’s first ‘real’ job at 15 was as a carer and bather at a dog resort and day care. At 16, she met Mary, working as her bather for about a year and learning along the way. Learning from Mary and other talented and experienced groomers, Christine has groomed professionally for over 15 years in salons in Connecticut, New York, Michigan, and Australia. With a degree in business and a career in marketing, she has spent most of the last 10 years in the corporate world, grooming part time or on the weekends. Currently she works in Advertising and Marketing for one of the Big 3 auto manufacturers but continues to do what she’s passionate about while keeping her skills sharp by grooming on the weekends.
