MY STORY
A lifelong love.
A practical purpose.
Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I grew up in San Diego, California, caring for a variety of pets. That interest led me to Massey University in New Zealand, where I studied animal science and zoology, building a foundation in animal behavior, health, and welfare.
I went on to train at Starmark Academy for Professional Dog Trainers and Canine Behavior Specialists in Texas. After graduating, I joined Starmark Animal Behavior Center, where I trained and rehabilitated hundreds of dogs.
Today, I share my life with three dogs and enjoy agility, competition obedience, frisbee, and protection sports. Those everyday experiences shape the way I help owners learn with their own dogs.
HOW I WORK
Clear communication.
Training that fits
your life.
My approach is balanced, emphasizing positive rewards and clear, consistent communication. I draw on canine behavior principles to help you understand what your dog is learning and how to support their progress.
I keep training practical and easy to bring into your routine. Programs are designed around you, your dog, and your lifestyle—whether you’re welcoming a puppy, building everyday manners, exploring dog sports, or working through a behavior challenge.
My goal is to help your dog reach their potential while keeping training fun. I personally conduct every training session.
