Practice Manager

I have a deep passion for animals and have been working in the animal industry for 11 years, my favorite being veterinary medicine. Before that, I was a junior dog handler showing English bull terriers. My favorite thing about working in a vet office is seeing an animal come back in for a recheck being all better from our efforts. I also run a reptile rescue called Ruby’s Reptile Rodeo and have volunteered at the Wild Bird Fund in NYC and Fresh Start Reptile Rescue in NC. As a child, I wanted to be a doctor, then changed paths to music, I started playing the piano at 3 years old, attended specialized schools for classical music, and aspired to be a concert pianist. My future career goal is to achieve my VTS in exotics or anesthesia, but more than likely exotics. I share my life with a diverse group of animals, including 9 dogs, 5 cats, birds, reptiles, and more. Outside of work, I enjoy building my sports car, playing with my many animals, gaming with my family, and playing the piano.

Veterinary Assistant

I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. In the past, I’ve had snakes, lizards, frogs, and a tortoise. I’ve been working in the animal industry since October of 2023. My favorite thing about working here is being able to participate in a team; we flow like a sports team. When I was younger, I wanted to be a horror writer or write books about aquatic animals. My future career goals are to become an American Sign Language teacher. Outside of work, I enjoy longboard dancing and playing Magic: The Gathering. One skill I have is that I’m fluent in American Sign Language and I’m learning Spanish Sign Language.

Veterinary Assistant

Currently, I have 5 dogs: two working line German Shepherds named Paisley and Kimber, a Belgian Malinois named Vendetta, a French Bulldog named Henry, and a Cane Corso named Callie. I’ve been working in the animal industry for 4 years, and my favorite part of working in a vet office is working with animals and helping clients with their pets in times of need. As a child, I always wanted to be a veterinarian, and my future career goals include finishing tech school and possibly going to school to become a veterinarian. Outside of work, I enjoy training my dogs, off-roading, camping, and boating.

Receptionist
Melissa has a background in human medicine but has found tremendous fulfillment in working with animals. Her favorite thing about her role at JAM Veterinary Services is experiencing all the different animals and witnessing the love people have for their pets.

Outside of the clinic, Melissa has several pets of her own, including three dogs and two sulcata tortoises. Her hobbies include diamond art, making diaper cakes, and of course, spoiling her fur-babies. She is also into all things spooky and strange.

Veterinary Assistant
A Nevada native, I grew up surrounded by the lively chaos of a farm, sharing my childhood with horses, cows, goats, and chickens. This early exposure to animals fueled a passion for animals. Several years ago I worked in the Veterinary field, I am now returning to my passion pursue new knowledge and experiences. When I'm not caring for animals, my time is filled with the joys of parenthood, adventuring on my side by side and snuggling with my pets – Oreo and Domino (dogs), Iggy and Shadow (cats), and Captain Chicken Pants (a crested gecko!) – and losing myself in a good book.

Veterinary Assistant
Hi, I’m MaKayla R. House. I’m a veterinary assistant with over six years of experience in veterinary medicine. I’m currently in school working toward becoming a licensed veterinary technician, and I absolutely love what I do.
Helping animals live healthier and happier lives is what drives me every day. I’m especially passionate about making sure each pet gets the care and attention they deserve—whether it's during a routine check-up or when they're not feeling their best.
When I’m not at work or studying, I’m usually hanging out with my own little zoo at home: my ball python, Fish; my bearded dragon, Finn; my dog, Essie; and my cat, Jojo. They definitely keep life interesting!
