Dr. Nicks is originally from the Midwest, growing up near St. Louis, Missouri. She graduated from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine where she was also on the Deans list as an undergraduate majoring in biology and communication. Jessica has always wanted to live in Florida and did an internship here at VCA Ponte Vedra Animal Hospital. We very quickly realized she was a great fit for our team as well as being an outstanding, compassionate Veterinarian. She happily accepted a position as a full-time associate veterinarian and we could not be more thrilled! When not working at the hospital, Jessica enjoys running with her dog, Rocco, and going to the beach.
