Virginia was born in Lexington, KY. She lived in many different states growing up. Her family always had several animals of all species growing up. Working with animals was something she knew she wanted to do from a young age. Her “animal career” started when she became an employee at Crocker Animal Hospital. She started out as a kennel assistant and worked her way up to a veterinary assistant. Virginia was introduced to grooming in 2012 and has been working as a professional groomer since then. “Haircuts and baths are always entertaining with the many breeds of dogs and cats I get to groom. I love grooming and am always excited when a new pet comes in for the first time!” In her spare time Virginia enjoys reading, hanging out with friends, hiking with family and spending time with her chihuahua Roscoe, her coonhound Bubby, and 3 cats (Tiger, Simon and Wilber) [citation].
