Veterinary Assistant / Student Veterinary Technologist
Jenny’s love for working with animals began when she was young. Her parents would foster young kittens, sometimes as young as one day old, until they were old enough to be adopted, and she would help wherever she could. This often- involved bottle feeding and lots of kitten cuddles!
Jenny grew up in Morden, Manitoba, with her younger siblings. After graduating high school, Jenny moved to Winnipeg and studied at the University of Manitoba. While studying, she began working in childcare, where she remained for many years. In 2016, her dog, Dash, was diagnosed with epilepsy. When learning about epilepsy and what was involved with the diagnosis, Jenny became even more interested in pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. After completing her Veterinary Office Assistant program at Robertson College, Jenny moved back to Winnipeg from Drumheller, Alberta, and began working at Sage Creek Animal Hospital. After several years at Sage Creek Animal Hospital, Jenny wanted to further her education in veterinary medicine and is now working towards becoming a Registered Veterinary Technologist. Jenny is interested in dermatology and enjoys educating clients on supporting their pets with allergies.
Jenny lives in the St. Norbert area with her husband, Jesse, and their children, Finn and Holly. They have a bustling household with three cats, Lieutenant Dan, Starr, and Taco, and a golden retriever, Lucy. When not at work or busy studying, Jenny loves to bake and try new Pinterest recipes! She will never pass up an offer for sushi or seafood and can usually be found spending time with family and friends.
