Jade joined Brookside as a Practice Manager and Licensed Veterinary Technician in September 2017. Since joining the profession in 2001 she has worked in a mix of emergency medicine and general practice. She loves emergency care and dentistry, but her passion truly lies in team building, communication and leadership.
Creating and building on a cohesive, supportive and positive team is her focus. She looks forward to continue to build on the team of caring, passionate professionals at Brookside Veterinary Hospital. She has sat on the board of the Washington State Association of Veterinary Technicians, has volunteered with and has had articles published by the National Association of Veterinary Technicians of America. She was also a regular guest author for DrAndyRoark.com.
She currently lives in Olalla with her fiancé, two Basenji's (Ava and Charger), two cats (Gladys and Harriet) and two parakeets (Bubbles and Doris). In her free time, she reads, writes, paints and adds items to her horror memorabilia collection.
