Jacqueline is a veterinary assistant at VCA North Rockville Animal Hospital in Rockville, Maryland, where she supports the veterinary team in delivering thoughtful, compassionate care for pets and the families who love them. She believes that patience, kindness, and clear communication help create a more comfortable experience for both pets and their clients during veterinary visits.
Jacqueline earned her Associate of Applied Science degree from Montgomery College and has continued to build her medical skills through hands-on experience within veterinary medicine. Her dedication to patient care and continuous learning has helped her grow into a trusted member of the hospital’s technical team.
“I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, so becoming a veterinary technician felt like a natural path for me.”
Jacqueline began her career in veterinary medicine as a receptionist, where she developed strong relationships with clients and gained a deeper understanding of the needs of both pets and their families. Over time, she expanded her role and training, transitioning into a veterinary technician position where she now provides direct patient care and supports the medical team during procedures. She is certified in both anesthesia and surgery, allowing her to assist with a wide range of procedures while helping ensure patients remain safe and comfortable throughout their care.
“I love building trust with pets and seeing nervous patients relax with a little patience and kindness. Creating those moments of comfort for pets and their families makes this work incredibly rewarding.”
Jacqueline approaches every patient with compassion and patience, focusing on creating a calm, low-stress experience whenever possible. She believes pets should always be treated with the same care and respect we would give our own family members.
That same approach guides her work each day at VCA North Rockville Animal Hospital in Rockville, MD, where Jacqueline works closely with the veterinary team to support pets and their families throughout every stage of care, helping create a welcoming environment where patients feel safe, and clients feel confident in their pet’s treatment.
