| Name | Rumiko Lane |
| Location | Coral Springs, Florida |
| What I plan to do when I graduate: | I plan to become a professional groomer and work for an upscale salon. I've even thought about opening my own salon or mobile service that caters to an affluent demographic. |
| What got me interested in this career: | I've had a strong passion for animals and caring for them since I was a child. I considered veterinary care but I could not imagine how I would deal with watching animals suffer, or having to put any of them down for whatever reason. Grooming satisfies my desire to work and be around animals and gives me an opportunity to express myself creatively. |
| Biography | I am originally from Tokyo, Japan. I moved here about 6 years ago and now I am working toward my lifetime dream to become a successful and repected pet stylist. |
