Jessica
Veterinary Technician

I am originally from Brisbane, Australia, and moved over to Houston in May 2021. I met my now husband, Hunter, a born and raised Houstonian, playing video games online. After traveling between the two countries for years, we packed up everything, including my little German Shepherd, Kimba, and moved to Houston. Since I was a young child, I wanted to work with animals and during my teenage years, I volunteered for rescues but knew I needed to do more for these fur babies that needed help, a voice to speak up for them, an advocate. I’ve been working in the veterinary field since 2018 and Parkwood Animal Hospital is my first clinic to work in the states. I thoroughly enjoy working in a surgical setting, helping sick patients, and making a difference in a patient’s life. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, playing video games, listening to K-pop, and being creative.
