Christine has been an avid animal lover and horsewoman her whole life, owning and caring for a variety of animals including dogs, horses, cats, goats, cows, and a miniature donkey. Although most of her experience has been in the medical field, she also has extensive experience in customer service, sales management, and business operations.

In 2019, she chose to follow her passion for animals by elevating their standard of care. She earned her dog grooming certification from the Academy of Animal Arts & Sciences and continues to attend national pet conferences to complete advanced certifications, including ‘Pet CPR and First Aid Training’.

Christine previously owned and operated a successful pet grooming business in Florida, catering to clients who wanted the best for their pets, refusing to compromise on safety, comfort, cleanliness, or quality. Shortly after moving to Durham, she recognized the need for higher pet care standards and began consulting for pet grooming businesses while launching her premier venture, Pet Spa Boutique.

Today, Christine remains dedicated to raising awareness and compassion for animals and loves being surrounded by dogs every day at Pet Spa Boutique.
