Teresa competed heavily with a Clumber Spaniel, Soft Coated Wheaten and Miniature Poodle. She has won numerous awards including Best in Show and Best All Around Groomer. Her drive to learn more has taken Teresa many places for hands-on seminars including Germany. She completed training with Sarah Hawks and Margery Good at the Montgomery Terrier Specialty.

Due to intense motivation and drive, she moved through the Paragon ranks to a highly qualified Trainer, Lead Trainer, General Manager and most recently she has been promoted again to Assistant Director at Paragon and Assistant Manager for White Dog Enterprises.
