JEN MEJIA, RVT

I remember when I was in fifth grade and my teachers asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and my answer was always to work with animals. Growing up, I knew that I wanted to work in veterinary medicine, so much that I didn’t even have a back up plan! When I was 17, I started working at my local animal shelter and stayed there for five years. My love and compassion continued to grow as I helped homeless pets and showed them that humans aren’t so scary. It was an amazing experience getting to help find homes for the misunderstood. I was lucky enough to land an internship with Kingsbrook after graduating from Wilson College and ended up working here full time! I could not have asked for a better team that focuses on providing love and compassion to both pets and their owners.
