I studied to be a dog groomer in Korea and got my first-class groomers' license in 2000. After graduation, I taught grooming classes at the grooming academy in Korea, and I worked as a toy poodle breeder. I also worked as a medical assistant at a Korean animal hospital for five years. I moved to Bellingham, Washington in 2015 and have been grooming in Bellingham for seven years, working with a variety of breeds.
