Jessica is originally from the East Coast, growing up in Oromocto, New Brunswick. She attended the University of Ottawa for her undergraduate studies, where she completed a Bachelor of Science with Specialization in Biology. Following that, she and her husband moved to Manitoba, from where she was accepted to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. Jessica graduated from WCVM in 2021. After vet school, she and her husband moved back home to New Brunswick where she worked for 3 years in small animal practice. This required lots of on-call work, which is where Jessica gained a love for emergency medicine.
Eventually, the West called again, and Jessica and her family moved to Spruce Grove in 2024. Since then, Jessica has worked in emergency clinics and general practices as a locum until settling at Tri-Municipal in December 2025.
Jessica loves being a veterinarian because every day is different and there’s a wide variety of things to be seen and done in the span of 1 day. Jessica has a special interest in emergency medicine and surgery, and anything to do with cats (her favourite animal)!
Outside of work, Jessica is busy with two young children. She also has a rottie named Cerberus, and two senior cats, Ricky and Julian. When not busy with her children, she enjoys reading, staying active by running and strength training, traveling, checking out new restaurants, and catching up on movies and tv shows.
