Leadership isn’t just about standing in the ring. It’s about lifting others up along the way.
This past weekend at OOGROOMSHOW, Irina “Pina” Pinkusevich served as a judge alongside Lis Johnston during the Poodle Competition, sharing her expertise with competitors from across the industry.
A GroomTeam USA alumna, current coach for our World Team, educator, mentor, and owner of Niira Grooming, Pina continues to invest in the future of competitive grooming through both her time and her support.
Whether she is coaching future champions, mentoring competitors ringside, or supporting GroomTeam USA as a Gold Sponsor, her dedication to excellence leaves a lasting impact on our industry.
Thank you, Pina, for believing in groomers, sharing your knowledge, and helping the next generation grow both in and out of the ring.
Your support, leadership, and mentorship mean more than words can express. Niira Irina Pinkusevich Master Groomer, Competitive Groomer and Grooming Educator Ottawa Ontario Grooming Show
