Our Team
Trish Toronyi Fuydal
Hi everyone - I’m Trish and I started this family business in 2015 and have never looked back!
In a sense I’ve always felt an animal spirit inside me. Originally from North Jersey, I lived in Florida for a few years and was working in a dog salon after receiving my groomers certification. We ended up moving to the PA area where I started working for another grooming facility. Loving all creatures, big and small, I quickly realized I needed to venture out and do things in my own more caring and friendly way.
I feel your dogs should be treated exactly as my dogs are treated at home; with a gentle hand, soft touch and a loving embrace.
I have two dogs at the moment. A Rottweiler and a shihtzu/bichon mix. Married for 34 years, my husband and I have 3 grown children and we have one granddaughter.
To me there is nothing more important than to have your dogs feeling comfortable, safe and loved at Malvern Grooms.
We hope to see you soon!
Wendy Vazquez
Hi.
My name is Wendy and I have been a certified dog groomer for more than 20 years.
For the last 5 years I have been at Malvern Grooms and it has been such a wonderful experience getting to know all of our client’s and their fur-children. I love having the ability to groom such a wide variety of breeds; however my absolute favorite is seeing the look of joy on an owner’s face when we finally show them their freshly groomed pup!
When I am not grooming I’m spending time with my family, 2 wonderful kids and horse that keep me busy.

Lauren Frisch
Hi, I’m Lauren! I’ve been working with dogs since 2016 and at Malvern Grooms since 2019. Since starting out as a bather I have gradually transitioned into a full time groomer, which I have been doing since September of 2021. Big thanks to both Trish and Erika who have been so helpful in their mentorship. There is no other job that I would rather have!
In my free time I like to go the the gym, play video games, go on walks and hikes with my senior pit bull mix Thor.
Erika Gawrys
Hi! My name is Erika. I have been working in the grooming world since 2007 and started working at Malvern Grooms in 2020. It is my absolute favorite being able to come in and spoil all the dogs and cats! I have been trained in everything from traditional breed cuts to the modern styles and am also a certified cat groomer.
Outside of work, I am a mom of 2 young boys. The boys and I have a German Shepherd, Wirefox Terrier, and 3 domestic shorthair cats. We also raise and show Registered Texas Longhorns.
Melissa Bubbenmoyer
Hey there! My name is Melissa and I absolutely LOVE my job! I have been working with dogs since my first job at 16 years old where I worked at a local dog boarding kennel. After a couple years, I decided I wanted to learn to groom and have been doing so ever since. I couldn't imagine doing anything else! It is such a joy being able to come to work and make each and every dog I groom look their absolute best!
When I'm not grooming, I'm usually spending time with my own fur-kids. I have two German shepherds and a doodle so there's never a dull moment in my house! My husband and I also just welcomed a perfectly sweet baby boy into our family at the end of February!
Jenny Haebel
Hello, I’m Jenny! I spent the first 10 years of my adult life in the corporate world and realized I needed a change. Having a combined passion for dogs and art, I decided to pursue dog grooming. I began my grooming career in 2019 and joined the Malvern Grooms team in 2021. It has been the best decision I’ve ever made!
I aim to treat each dog as if it were my own - with care and patience. Seeing the transformation of each dog from beginning to end is not only fun but also rewarding. If only I could bring them all home with me!
In my free time I enjoy anything crafty, from crochet to painting. You may see me walking through Malvern with my adopted longhaired mini dachshund, Sugar, and my wonderful boyfriend Matt. Can't wait to meet you and your pup!
Kyle Fuydal
Hello there! I’m Kyle.
You might see me hanging around our front desk area. After working in the corporate world doing finance and sales junk for a while I was admittedly looking for a change. I joined the family business in 2019 and what a fun ride it has been.
Outside of work I have a lovely wife and daughter, as well as two pups of my own. Playing video games, sports or fiddling with plants would also be filed under things I enjoy.
