About Us

I am a native to Tennessee. My love for animals of all kinds began at a young age. As a child I was active in equestrian sports. Early on I became involved with small and large animal rescue, which eventually led me to veterinary medicine. During my 17 years working as a technician I became interested in canine mental health and behavior. The overwhelming amount of behavioral euthanasias we see in the veterinary industry is disheartening; the majority of which are at no fault of the animal and often times are due to a lack of clear communication. After dipping my toe into the dog training pool, I decided to take a leap, and haven’t looked back. I have completed an apprenticeship with Alicia Hale and worked alongside her with her business Activate Canine for years. In my free time I enjoy training my personal dogs, riding, hiking, dance and spending time with my family.
