JESSICA ANNIS

Assistant Instructor

Jessica has always had a passion for animals.  She has known that she would be working in some capacity with animals.  Before attending the Paragon School, Jessica worked at various pet shops and learned about a variety of different pets.   She had briefly considered pursuing a career in veterinary medicine but after shadowing a vet for a day, decided that wasn’t what she wanted to do with her life. Jessica decided to combine her love of animals with her love of art by becoming a groomer.

Jessica enjoys grooming and involves herself in the grooming industry six days a week.  She enjoys working with difficult pets and geriatric pets.  She prides herself on her unending patience when working with animals.

Jessica is the proud mother of a collie named Edison who is her shadow.  She also shares her home with Merlin and Miracle her loving kitties as well as two noisy birds, a cockatiel and an Amazon parrot.  When she is not working, Jessica enjoys hanging out with her friends and going bowling or roller skating.  She also loves to watch movies and go shopping.
