Meet Teresa, a dedicated pet stylist who brings a wealth of experience and passion for animals to Suds 'n Scissors LWR.
Growing up on a sprawling horse, tobacco, and dairy farm, Teresa's roots in animal care run deep, with decades of hands-on experience spanning all types of creatures. This upbringing honed her innate connection with animals and shaped her compassionate approach to pet grooming.
Teresa's adventurous spirit led her to explore 16 different countries over a span of two decades, fostering a genuine love for people from all walks of life. Her broad cultural experiences have enriched her understanding of diversity and strengthened her ability to connect with individuals from various backgrounds.
With a remarkable career in photography spanning over 20 years, Teresa made a seamless transition into pet grooming upon retirement. Her decision was driven by a deep-seated passion for animals, particularly dogs, where she finds immense joy and fulfillment in nurturing their well-being.
A proud mother of three talented daughters, Teresa shares a close bond with each of them, engaging in frequent conversations and shared adventures throughout the week. Their collective success in their respective careers is a testament to Teresa's nurturing and supportive presence in their lives.
Beyond her professional duties, Teresa has dedicated her time to serving as a puppy raiser for Southeastern Guide Dogs (now known as Dogs Inc.) and volunteering at Nate's Honor Animal Rescue. Her commitment to animal welfare extends beyond the grooming table, embodying a true advocate for the well-being of furry companions.
In her personal life, Teresa shares her home with a beloved Morkie named Niles, whom she adores as her little angel, and a Himalayan cat named Epona, heralded as the best cat in the world. These cherished companions bring joy and companionship into Teresa's life, further deepening her connection to the animal kingdom.
During her leisure time, Teresa indulges in her love for movies, with a particular fondness for the "Lord of the Rings" series. She also enjoys engaging in home projects, spending quality time with her family, and staying informed about political developments, showcasing her diverse interests and well-rounded personality.
