In 2010, Vanessa completed her grooming training and worked in a professional pet salon for 5 years. In 2015, she decided to further her animal care experience by working at NC State Veterinary Hospital caring for animals with special needs. Vanessa decided that while this work was very rewarding, her true passion was grooming. In 2018, she decided to follow her heart back to grooming here at Carolina Ranch. She enjoys being a part of the Ranch family and bringing owner’s visions for their dogs to life.
