She’s saved the lives of countless pets in the Kitsap community and in Mulegé, Mexico during yearly “spay-cations.”

Dr. Jen was crucial in altering an antiquated law through her advocacy in Olympia, which now allows shelters to treat pets from low-income families, keeping them together.

Trained in mindfulness, she also provides mentorship and compassion fatigue training to veterinary professionals across the country.
