My name is Hayra and I am 24 years old. I have been living in Massachusetts for two years and I am currently moving to Georgia. Looking to find a job that I can continue to work with what I love, Dog Grooming.
I started helping a family's friend with her grooming salon during the covid-19 pandemic, and have been working in the field since 2020.
I got my first job in the United States at a franchise and then switched to a personal owned grooming salon where I still work. Fluent in English and native in Brazilian Portuguese, showcasing adaptability and a fast-learning ability in a fast-paced environment.
