Diversity Academy Newstory 2014

This month American Grooming Academy is celebrating the diversity of our students!

For close to five years The American Grooming Academy has been educating people of all ages in the art of pet styling. Our innovative techniques, hands on approach, and finely tuned curriculum, have changed the lives of many people. All ages, races, learning types, background, and people from all kinds of different working backgrounds have succeeded at American Grooming Academy. Here are a few of their stories!

Fannie Wong came to American Grooming Academy wanting to open her own business. She drove two hours each way. She came to American Grooming part time for over a year to complete her education! Fannie graduated and along with her husband and three poodles, Sesame, Sugar, and Tiny Tofu, opened “Little Paws Grooming Salon.” Fannie is a testament to putting your mind to it to get it done. We celebrate her as a determined and wonderful part of our pet styling alumna!

2014-04-02 13.25.35-2.jpgJelisa Hamilton is a familiar face around American Grooming Academy. Jelisa “Jelly Bear” Hamilton was a student at AGA over two years ago. She graduated and we never let her go! One of the most talented stylist AGA had ever seen, Jelly Bear was an asset to not only American Grooming clients, but also to our students. Not only can they relate to an assistant instructor who used to be a student, but can also see what it is like to work in the real world after graduation!

Valerie Greer is a mom of three girls, including a set of twins. Valerie’s trade of choice for many years was a professional photographer! Some of her work can be seen on the AGA website. After sending three girls to American Grooming Academy….yes you heard right…. Allison St. Yves, Darla Greer, and Sandy Greer are all daughters of this recent grad, she decided that this would be a family business! The Greers are gearing up to open their very own salon and we salute a family that “works” together stays together!

2014-03-19 14.51.57-1.jpgBrittany Troop brought her miniature poodle to American Grooming Academy for years before she decided that working with animals could be a real career. She would come in and drop her off and wonder, “could I really do this?”  Yes she could! Recently graduated from American Grooming Academy, Brittany loves her new career and is looking forward to some day opening her own business!
