With a diverse background spanning small business ownership in the dog training industry, customer service, administration, and medical reception, I bring a well-rounded and adaptable approach to every role I undertake. I’m passionate about helping people, whether coaching clients toward their goals, supporting patients in a clinical setting, or ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. My strengths lie in communication, organization, and problem-solving, and I thrive in dynamic environments where I can contribute positively, learn quickly, and deliver exceptional service.
