Back in 2005 I was pursuing a job working with animals and came across an ad for the newly opened Barking Hound Village Dallas. I loved the vibe when meeting with then manager Lisa Jones and began work immediately. I originally intended for the position to be a fun, flexible job while attending college, but after Lisa and Jeremy bought BHV Texas they offered me a promotion to store manager for Dallas. Having always lived in Texas and being a dog lover, I decided there was no place I would rather be. The opportunity to grow and advance with BHV has been a huge part of my life.
My first dog Roxi, a red heeler, was my best friend and the reason I wanted to work with dogs. I now have 3 heeler mixes Piper, Jovie and Ridge, who are essentially my children that work, travel and hang with me as much as possible!
