Jacquelyn joined us August of 2016. She is one of our in-training veterinary technicians. She is a cat-loving, country-loving kind of woman. As a child, her biggest dream in life was to become a dolphin trainer but instead, she found an even bigger love working with small animals. She has one fur baby, a cat named Dilly. He is an all grey fluff ball with a lot of personality. On her day off you can find her hiking, hanging out with her family, or at the local spots downtown Vancouver.
