Jaime has worked in the veterinary industry for over 20 years. She grew up in Northern Virginia and went to college in Sarasota, FL, attaining her bachelor's degree. Jaime started her veterinary career in Northern Virginia at a veterinary surgical practice for 8 years before moving into veterinary oncology as an office manager. She continued to grow her management skills for a large veterinary referral practice. In the fall of 2016, Jaime moved to Northern California to be closer to family. She worked at several small animal practices and a non-profit service dog organization before transitioning to VCA Animal Hospitals. Jaime enjoys hiking local trails and walking with her lab/golden mix, Finn. She also has a long hair tabby cat named Timber and two chiweenie dogs named Kingston and Sadie. She helps care for a medium sized outdoor feline colony on her property. She also likes gardening, reading, painting, drawing, and playing video games in her spare time. Jaime has a special place in her heart for animal surgery and anesthesia, since that is where she started in the industry, though her love for working with animals in general and ensuring their wellbeing trumps all else.
