Jessie was one of those children who seemed to migrate to animals from the day she was born. Bringing home "stray" animals and nursing injured wildlife was a routine part of her childhood. Jessie’s first position in the veterinary profession was in the late 1980’s as a kennel attendant in a large hospital in a New Jersey Suburb.

But it wasn’t until 1988, when she was hired as a veterinary assistant in a wonderful practice in Pleasanton, California that she truly began to understand the compassion, skill, goodness and dedication of the people in her profession.

Since those years Jessie has been proud to carry the title of Kennel Assistant, Technician, Receptionist, Office Manager and finally Practice Manager.

Professionally, Jessie has been studying for over 2 years to sit for a certification exam to become a Certified Veterinary Practice Manager and earned that designation in September 2009.

Personally she was recently married to a wonderful man named Jeff and in their spare time they enjoy music, hiking, their Grandsons, camping, mother nature and gardening and working on their new home. Jeff and Jessie have one Australian Cattle dog named Ringo (The Worlds Smartest Dog), one Giant Schnauzer "Cajun", the family juvenile delinquent and two adorable if slightly genetically challenged Persian type Kitties, "the ladies" are Dot and The Amazing Miss Bella Boo. You can see their pictures under our photo's page!

If you ask Jessie about life, she will say "one of the things that will always bring me my greatest sense of fulfillment is spending my days working side by side with people I truly admire, that share the goal of helping our clients and take the best possible care of their much loved pets. All of that and puppy breath too, it doesn’t get much better than that".
