Jenna, Certified Veterinary Technician

My name is Jenna, and I am a Certified Veterinary Technician here at All Paws. I graduated from the University of Minnesota with my bachelor’s degree in animal science and then attended Argosy University for my CVT degree. I have worked in the veterinary field for 11 years as a CVT and I have been an animal lover since birth. Veterinary medicine fulfills my continuous drive for both learning and using my technical skills. I have experience in general practice and emergency medicine. I prefer to be behind the scenes as I have a special love for surgery and anesthesia.

Outside of work, I have a wonderful partner, Nelson, who I share my world with. We both are still in the service industry as part time bartenders and love the fast-paced environment that it comes with. We have a Boxer/Pit mix named Thoven who demands both of our attention constantly and we do NOT say no 😊

I really love All Paws because it provides a healthy work environment which is often hard to find in the veterinary medicine industry. Every team member from leadership to support staff is incredibly supportive and encouraging and it just makes for such a healthy place to work. I have found that when you have a healthy environment, the best medicine is cultivated and executed.

A fun fact about me is that I am an avid bowler. My grandfather and dad owned a bowling alley growing up and that was my daycare. I still bowl to this day and have two teams of my own that I attend weekly.
