Jess started her Veterinary career as a Vet Assistant in 2012 after serving her country for four years as Military Police in the US Navy. Her journey brought her to multiple states (Texas, Virginia, Washington, Illinois and Wisconsin) and positions ranging from vet assistant to shift to flagship practice manager. Jess shares her home with her significant other Luke, 2 adopted black cats (Arrow, Oliver), a Terrier mix (Maverick), and an English Mastiff (Freya). In their free time, Jess and Luke like to visit food trucks and taste their unique flavors, as well as travel to various cities to see music legends and see the sights. She passionately believes in helping our pets live better, so we can love them longer and is super excited to be a part of the future of Lakeside Animal Hospital
