I’ve spent over a decade in the pet care industry, building my career around one simple mission: helping people and pets thrive together through knowledge, compassion, and confident care. I’m originally from the Piney Woods of Southeast Texas but now call Houston home, where I serve as the General Manager at Texas Doghouse in The Woodlands.

As a certified Pet Tech CPR & First Aid Instructor, I’ve spent the past two years teaching life-saving skills and empowering others to feel prepared in emergencies. My classes cover Pet CPR, First Aid, and Disaster Preparedness — all with an emphasis on confidence, calm, and care.

Beyond the classroom and the kennel, I’m a proud mom to one spirited Scottish Terrier, one lovable street kitty, and one equally wild little human. When I’m not working or teaching, you can usually find me with my husband, Kaleb, showing our daughter how to “gently pet” the animals and passing along that same respect and love for every creature we meet.
