Our Team

Jess

Hospital Manager
Jess has been in the veterinary field since 2009. She discovered her passion for caring for animals when a teeny tiny gray and white kitten needed a cat sitter at just 4 weeks old. After having to care for such a helpless little creature, she discovered she had a joy for seeing animals thrive. 12 years later in the field, Jess has worked in many parts of the veterinary community from general practice to emergency, to volunteering at her local shelter to internal medicine and cardiology. She thrives in the controlled chaos of the veterinary field and truly believes in advocating for her patients. Jess loves working with all of our patients who come in, but her favorite are, as she calls them “the misunderstood” fractious felines. When not at work, she enjoys spending time with her two daughters, Frankie and Jovi, looks forward to binge watching Grey’s Anatomy, and taking family trips to her home away from home, Disneyland.

Just in case you were wondering, that teeny tiny gray and white kitten is living a well lavished life with Jess and her family.
