Meet Jess โ Our Lead Veterinary Technician ๐พ
Jess has been a key part of the Fernvale Vet Clinic team for 5 years and is our Lead Veterinary Technician. Inside the clinic, she has a strong interest in surgery, especially the more complex and out of routine cases โ particularly when our travelling specialist surgeon Dr Tom Smith visits for fracture repairs and stifle surgeries.
Outside of work, Jess is all about anything horse-related (no surprise there!). If she were an animal, sheโd be a horse. At home, sheโs surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes from horses and cattle to chooks, cats and dogs.
Jess loves being able to support patients and their owners through both the highs and lows, helping get pets back to their cheeky selves. She also appreciates the laid back, semi-rural Fernvale community and has an impressive hidden talent she shoes her own horses!
Fun fact: after seeing a platypus in the flesh while working at Fernvale, thatโs now her dream pet (if only that was possible๐ข). When sheโs not busy, youโll likely find her enjoying chocolate or cheesecake or snacking on blueberries, hopefully a future trip to America for harness racing or rodeo is on the cards soon.
Next time youโre in clinic, be sure to say hello to Jess! ๐๐ถ๐ฑ
