Tina started doing agility when she realized her Welsh Terrier, Caru, needed an outlet for her nonstop energy. She was out for a drive and stopped at a trial to see what it was about and she was hooked. She started training at HOA in 2012.

Caru has been a very willing and fun teammate and Tina credits agility for enabling them to build a deep connection.

Tina started instructing at the Beginner’s level and has recently decided to try her hand with instructing Agile Kindergarten. She really enjoys watching teams master new skills and is fascinated by the role of play and fun in training.

In her spare time, she also enjoys sailing, hiking and almost anything outdoors.
