Hi, my name is Jessica and I joined the VCA Northwest Hills team in November 2022. I have always had a love and passion to help animals. I grew up on a ranch helping my dad with cattle, along with our pet dogs, cats, and chickens. I started my journey in veterinary medicine working in the Rio Grande Valley at a small animal clinic and also helped out at the Gladys Porter Zoo. I decided to further my education and am currently attending UT Austin to receive my doctoral in pharmacy (class of 2026). I hope to specialize in veterinary pharmacy one day. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, painting, and exercising.
