Lora came to the United States from Russia in 1988 where she groomed her Standard Poodle as a hobby—a hobby that soon grew into a passion. She joined Especially for Pets in 1997 and now has over 20 years of experience and can groom any breed of dog.

Lora has a background in computer science but decided to make grooming her profession as she loves working with animals and making them glamorous.
