Awards, Certifications & Education:
I’m always learning to stay current and knowledge is power! Plus to maintain my fitness certifications I need to take continuing education courses every year, so I also uphold that standard to the pet industry as well that doesn’t have as much regulation. I also use this list as a reminder for myself as well, so I don’t have to rely on memory or sift thru papers/emails and try to keep it as current as possible.
