Jessica (Jess)

Jess has been with us as a Certified Veterinary Technician since April of 2020. She loves all aspects of the field, but if she could choose a place to be, it would be in the surgical suite. From intake to discharge- prepping and monitoring patients while they are under anesthesia and then caring for them as they wake up is her happy place.

Jess has quite the menagerie at home- 2 dogs, 6 cats, 1 rabbit and 2 snakes. She has a huge heart and gravitates towards rescues, especially pitties.
When she is not at work, you will find her outside hiking, fishing, ice fishing, hunting and off roading in her Jeep or on her Quad.

Shanelle

Shanelle has been a technician with us since March of 2021. She loves all of our patients, but has a soft spot for our elderly pets.
Shanelle is a jokester at heart- When she is not doing appointments, she might be planning a practical joke on another staff member. Don’t worry, she saves her jump scares for her co-workers.
At home, Shanelle shares her newly refinished bus with her boyfriend and her dog Payton, along with 3 cats and a horse.
