Ramona has been working in the pet care industry for almost 13 years. She started in the kennel and quickly rose through the ranks to become Assistant Resort Manager. This is a dream job for her as she has always had a passion for animals. She even had her own "Bug Zoo" when she was 7, including wasp nests and leeches. She likes to help the pets adjust to their new surroundings and to make them feel comfortable. She has 4 dogs, a cat, 3 birds and a marine fish tank at home which keep her busy. When she finds some free time, you can find her in her herb/flower gardens.

I have a degree in accounting from National Business College (1988). I have over 19 years of experience working in the pet care industry and over 10 years of experience working in the pet grooming industry. My certifications include: Pet Care Technician (2005), Red Cross Pet CPR & First Aid Certified. Dog Grooming and Styling Nash Academy (2009)

Shaunna, who goes by Beth, has been working with animals almost 15 years. Before joining the paradise family, she has worked as a bather, a pet store, the SPCA and has been grooming over 4 years now. She loves all kinds of animals and learning everything she can about them. She has two dogs of her own, a beagle and a hound mix. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her fur babies, watching TV, traveling and spoiling her nieces and nephews.

I have an associates degree in computer networking from East Coast Polytechnic Institute but have more than 15 years hands-on experience with animals. I trained alongside a master groomer for 5 years and have held positions at a pet store, veterinary office and in a grooming salon.

I've lived in Virginia my whole life, I started grooming in 2013. I have a pit bull named Lacey that's 7 years old. On my days off, I enjoy spending time at home with my boyfriend.
