I'm a Autistic adult with a love for anything animals, especially dogs! I've experienced firsthand what a service dog can do.​
When I'm not training dogs, I love to hike, go running, photography, reading, baking, and trying new
dog-sports with my own dogs! I have trained my own service dogs since my teen years, and shadowed under service dog trainers in the Vancouver area to expand my hands on experience.
From my earliest memory, I have always been interested and around dogs. I would train and play with family and friends dogs, and read as much as I could on canine behaviour. As a teen (16-18), I worked as a respite worker with autistic kids and trained service dogs and pet dogs on the side. As an adult (19-present) I work as a BI (behaviour interventionist) with autistic kids supporting transitions, social learning, lifeskills, and communication. And running Sherbert Service Dogs assisting handlers train their own service dogs!
​
As a dog trainer it is my job to continue my education and stay up to date with the current information on canine behaviour. As of August, 2024 I am a certified dog trainer through Dogma Academy. And have received my DDT designation! Throughout 2025, I am working to complete Dogma's Canine Behaviour Consultant (DCBC) program to become a certified behaviour consultant for dogs with big behavoiur concerns.
​
I have completed the alert and response tasks course from Cooperative Paws Service Dog Education, for implementing improved service dog training to my business.
​
As of October 2024, I have completed Emily Priestley's 4 week Reactivity course , and Karen Pryor Academy's But First! Fun cooperative care course (4 weeks).
