Tina

When Tina adopted her first dog, Tasha, she witnessed firsthand how many shelter pets there are who need homes. The emotional experience triggered a desire to pursue a career working with animals in some way. At Tasha’s first vet visit, Tina learned of an opening for a groomer. It was the perfect opportunity, and a serendipitous moment that would launch a 30-year career in pet grooming.  

Tina has been with Tuscan Ridge Animal Hospital since its inception. Although retired from grooming, Tina remains an active member of Tuscan Ridge. As receptionist and inventory manager, Tina enjoys keeping the practice organized, opening the hospital every morning, and interacting with clients and their pets.

Outside of work, Tina is mom to three grown boys as well as numerous grandchildren that she adores. Her fur family includes a goofy Carolina/wild dog mix named Cane and a Labrador/hound mix named Jayda, who is laid back but does like to talk when spoken to. Tina’s favorite pastimes include sports, being outdoors, watching movies, and most importantly, spending quality time with her family.
