Jess

Hi, my name is Jessica or Jess, anything but Jessie. I was born and raised in Lansing, Illinois. I first came to Minnesota in the fall of 2019 to intern at The Wildcat Sanctuary. I have loved animals from a young age, and my parents remember me telling them when I was eight that I would make working with animals my career. I have my Bachelor's and Masters in Biology. After working at The Wildcat Sanctuary for two years, I realized that my heart lies in the Veterinary field.

I have two dogs named Skye and Summer, and I live in Jenkins, Minnesota. In my free time, I like running, hiking, hanging out on the beach, and spending time with friends and family.
