Since childhood, she has always loved animals. Her early memories include visiting her Dad in Arima, Trinidad and enjoying the animals in his yard. "On one visit, he announced to my brother, sister and I that he had purchased three geese and named them after us. We spent that visit being chased by those mischievous critters. My Dad also had a talking parrot who loved to eat mangoes. He had birds, parakeets, rabbits and of course dogs. He loved German Shepherds, and when they had puppies, I would be in puppy heaven." Marsha's early childhood experiences lead her into a career with animals. She owns and operates a dog grooming business called "Luv'n Pooches and Pals Mobile Dog Grooming."
