Katie
Pet Groomer
I have been working with animals for nine years and have loved every minute of it. I have been grooming animals for the past six years. Nothing is more exciting than to see how happy a dog is after a great bath or haircut. I joined Bryn Mawr Vet in February 2012 and have enjoyed everything about working here. My lovely sidekicks are two fun powderpuff Chinese Cresteds named Jayda and Macy.
Did you Know: In my spare time I love to do crafts and sew, especially animal related things.
