Jackie just recently joined the Ayers Animal Hospital team in June 2024 but has been involved in various aspects of veterinary medicine since 2018. She attended Marshall University and The Ohio State University for school and has worked as a veterinary assistant, kennel attendant, and receptionist within the veterinary field. She enjoys general veterinary medicine, exotic animals, surgery, and the challenge of critical care—she loves it all. She shares her life with her fiancé, Matt, as well as her furry kids, Hank Kenodi (a Great Pyrenees/Aussie mix), Callypso (a calico cat), and Ned (a blue seal tabby cat). In her spare time, she enjoys reading, watching any and all good shows, keeping up with the Marvel cinematic universe, fostering baby animals, and finding exciting things to eat.
