Jess, Veterinary Assistant/CCR

Hi, I’m Jessica! 

I was born and raised in Oregon. My love for animals started early; I honestly cant remember a time without animals. I grew up on a 20-acre farm, so being surrounded by critters was simply a normal part of life. From helping to deliver horses, rescuing abandoned kittens, and incubating duck eggs; helping animals has always been a part of my life. Somewhere along the way, that turned into a 12+ year career in veterinary medicine, and I honestly can’t imagine doing anything else!

At home, I have my own little animal menagerie: three dogs, one cat, and a sand boa (Also a 6 year old daughter and a fiancé that complete the circus).

When I’m not at the clinic I’m usually spending time with my family running around finding adventures. I love a good book, an overcast day, and hot cup of coffee. 

I’m so excited to be part of the Fern Hill team and can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members!
