Kristen began grooming over 15 years ago, gaining experience from corporate and private grooming salons and veterinary medicine practice. She rose through the ranks of competitive grooming quickly, nominated for Barkleigh’s Up and Coming Groomer of the year for 2012, and was honored to be a part of GroomTeam USA. Currently, she is a part of an amazing mobile grooming team in Cary, NC.

Her passions not only include competing, and continuing education, but also focuses on groomer health. Over the past 3 years, she has successfully lost over 200lbs with a focus on a low carb, whole real food lifestyle. She would love to be a health coach in the future, sharing information to groomers about how to support their bodies and gain longevity in the grooming industry.
