What are your responsibilities?

As a K9 Handler, Bed Bug Inspector, I identify the issue and provide a resolution to help my clients from start to finish

What do you value about working here?

Working for a reputable local business and having the opportunity to advance my career. I started in Telemarketing at night part-time and quickly progressed into Commercial full time. I expressed interest in the K9 Handler opportunity and now 11 years later I am in my dream job!

What do you enjoy most about your job?

Working with my best friend K9 April daily and as a team bringing resolutions to traumatic pest issues. With so much misinformation that is circulating the internet on bed bugs, it makes me feel good to not only provide a resolution to my clients but to also educate them as well.

Do you have any local ties to the community?

I live locally and have been an active community member for years as a teacher and being involved with Boy Scouts. I also enjoy attending my son’s little league games.  

What’s a fun fact about you many people may not know about you?

I enjoy vegetarian cooking and trying new recipes.
