Experience
Precious Paws / Dog Groomer
February 2020- PRESENT, Brookfield, WI
At Precious Paws I groom 5-6 dogs each day, while also answering phones, scheduling appointments, checking dogs in and out, educating clients, taking payment, and cleaning.
Groomin’ Groomin’ Gone / Dog Groomer
March 2019 - May 2019, Waukesha, WI
I groomed about 5 dogs per day and drove the mobile grooming van for Groomin’ Groomin’ Gone. I also took payment and scheduled future appointments. I used the app MoeGo for appointments.
Central Bark / Dog Groomer
September 2018 - March 2019, Brookfield, WI
I groomed about 7-8 dogs per day at Central Bark. I was able to groom more dogs per day there because I was not responsible for answering phones, scheduling appointments or taking payment.
PetSmart / PetStylist
June 2015 - September 2019, Greenfield, WI
I groomed 5-6 dogs per day at PetSmart. I started as a bather and, after nearly a year of experience as a bather, I went to PetSmart’s grooming academy to become a groomer. I was a PetStylist at PetSmart for about two years. At PetSmart I also answered phones, booked appointments, checked dogs in and out, cleaned, and provided customer service.
CapTel / Captioning Assistant
June 2014 - July 2015, Milwaukee, WI
I captioned phone calls for the deaf and hard of hearing by repeating what I heard into a headset for voice capture to turn into text, correcting any mistakes the software made manually by typing the correct word(s), as well as any words the software was unable to recognize.
Noodles & Company/ Ambassador
June 2013 - September 2014,Janesville, WI
I worked in the kitchen preparing food orders quickly and accurately, as well as stocking and cleaning.
Mounds Pet Food Warehouse / Sales Associate
May 2012 - April 2013, Janesville, WI
My main responsibilities at Mounds we’re cashiering, stocking, cleaning, providing customer service, helping to maintain accurate inventory, and making special orders for customers. I attended regular training on various pet products to help me provide excellent customer service. With many customers seeking solutions to their pets’ health and behavioral issues, I learned a great deal about providing excellent customer service, especially how to understand each customer’s unique needs and find the right solutions for them while making them feel heard and valued.
Kwik Trip / Shift Leader
August 2008 - May 2012,Edgerton, WI
I started as a CoWorker at Kwik Trip and in less than two years was promoted to Shift Leader. I mainly worked as the third shift cashier, with my duties including customer service, cleaning, stocking, facing the store, checking for expired products, setting up for promotions and sales, as well as making food for the Hot Spot and Roller Grill. I made sure food was fresh and maintained a safe temperature and helped control waste.
As a Shift Leader I oversaw other CoWorkers, helped ensure that the store ran smoothly, kept track of weekly and daily sales goals, generated ideas to help increase sales, and worked to control waste in all areas of the store. I remained calm and was able to give directions in difficult working conditions, including power outages and credit system failures.
McDonald’s / Crew Member
December 2006 - October 2008, Newville, WI
I worked mainly in the evenings at McDonald’s, during the dinner rush, so I quickly adapted to the fast-paced environment. Aside from preparing food, my work duties included cleaning, stocking and prepping.

Education
PetSmart Grooming Academy / Certificate
January 20017 - February 2017, Kenosha, WI
During PetSmart Academy I learned about most major dog breeds, their breed cuts, canine body language, critical and non-critical signs of stress, and had hands-on training performing pet trims and breed cuts.
University of Wisconsin Rock County / University of Wisconsin Milwaukee / Associate’s (psychology)
May 2012 - December 2016, Janesville, WI / Milwaukee, WI
I graduated from UW Rock County with an Associate’s degree in psychology and a cumulative GPA of 3.5, and as an English Honors Society member. I continued my education at UW Milwaukee but due to circumstances beyond my control was unable to finish my Bachelor’s degree. I am always eager to learn and I feel that many of the things I learned in my schooling have helped me develop valuable skills that I can use in both everyday life as well as the workplace.
Home School / High School Diploma
September 2004 - June 2008, Edgerton, WI
Homeschooling taught me to take initiative and learn on my own. I learned to be self-motivated and passed all my classes (pass/fail, no letter grades). It also taught me the importance of being flexible and adaptable.
