BARK AVENUE

In 2011, my journey in grooming commenced in Melbourne under the guidance of Nicky Renwood and Melanie Newman at the Australian Dog Centre, I earned three certifications in dog grooming during my time there. 
Over the course of 13 years, my passion for grooming has remained. I've honed my skills in various settings, from vet clinics to pet stores, including taking on the role of Salon Manager at Animates for four years. 
Since establishing my own grooming business over the past few years, I decided to branch out to a mobile grooming service to better accommodate the needs of clients working from home. 

​

Outside of grooming, my love of animals drew me in to horses. From a young age, I got involved in Competitive Trail Riding and Endurance Riding, competing on many horses, but all Arabian breeds. 
Beginning my equestrian journey at four years old, I entered the competitive arena at the age of eight. Although I stepped away from competitive riding at 18, my passion was renewed during my time as the Sport Manager of Endurance Riding at Equestrian Sport NZ. I also had the very rewarding role as the Sport Manager for Para Equestrian, which became the 5th discipline of Equestrian Sport in 2009.
