Jackie is an Orange County native who has had a love for animals since she was a little girl. From feeding calves at a dairy farm to feeding goats at petting zoo, she has never shied away from interacting with any animal even at a young age.

She started her journey to veterinary medicine by working at a pet store while going to school. It was there that she developed a real appreciation for customer service and compassionate pet care. She graduated California State Polytechnic University, Pomona with a degree in Animal Health Science. 

Jackie is excited to continue her career with Belmont Shore Veterinary Hospital and is committed to being a lifelong learner, so that she may provide the best care possible to clients and their pets. Although she has no pets of her own yet, she has plenty of love to give to all the furry, fluffy, scaly, and feathery friends she meets!
