Jewel brings years of experience in animal care and client relations to her role as a Veterinary Receptionist. She began working with animals at the age of 16 as a stable hand at a local barn. Since then, she has worked as a kennel assistant, grooming assistant, and veterinary receptionist, building a strong foundation in patient care and animal behavior. 
 
Over time, Jewel discovered a passion for the client-facing side of veterinary medicine, where she can combine her love for animals with meaningful connections to their owners. Now in her reception role, she is dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for both pets and their people. She takes pride in helping clients feel heard, informed, and cared for during every visit. 
 
Outside of work, Jewel enjoys spending her free time with her son, Micah. She is also a proud pet parent to Roxie, her Pit Bull–Husky mix, who keeps life fun and active.
