I was incredibly lucky to start my dog training journey as an intern with Canine Defined! Since then, I have become immensely passionate about science-based and positive reinforcement training. I have seen the long-lasting effects it has on the bond between humans and their dogs. With Canine Defined, I learned to approach every dog as an individual and to create a training plan that sets every dog up for success. I have worked with positive reinforcement-based companies where I gained three years of experience training basic to advanced obedience, agility classes, and other confidence- building classes. These experiences allowed me to gain valuable hands-on time with a variety of dogs. I am incredibly excited to now bring my knowledge into personalized, private, in-home training, while also working towards additional certifications and continuing education options!

Currently, I have one dog (Kingsley), one hamster (Spanky), and one crested gecko (Pickles). Kingsley and I are part of Go Team Therapy Dogs, where he likes to visit and bring comfort to assisted living homes, psychiatric hospitals, school campuses, etc.

I'm a Colorado native who enjoys taking my dog on hikes, sipping iced coffee, and trying to keep my houseplants alive!
