Sem is originally a graduate of Petsmart’s Training Academy in November 2017. Wanting further education they took online courses and worked with Paddy Gaffney to develop skills geared towards Poodles and Poodle mixes, and Samoyeds (as well as all double-coated breeds). Currently, Sem is working on achieving the title of Certified Master Groomer with the IPG and CPPS. Sem joined the Furry Friends team in February 2020. 

 Sem loves working with puppies and doing nail trims for anxious dogs and cats. Their calming presence works wonders to help ease their minds. Sem enjoys creative grooming, so if that’s of interest, and you are willing to visit every 4 weeks, that may be an option we can work on! They also enjoy spritz’s of cologne and finishing touches like bows, feathers and nail polish. 

 Sem lives with two affectionate and loving cats. Typhon, is a tortoiseshell-coloured, big, lazy cat whose favourite place to sit is Sem’s lap. Anri is a smokey blue mix with a plush coat. Their mother owns a Samoyed named Koda and a Sheltie named Skye who are the light of their lives.
