Jessi moved to the Charlotte area in 2019 from Winter Haven, FL. Driven to connect and provide compassionate care to clients, through interactions with patients, she made a great fit to Carolina Pets in 2020. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner she aspires to help animals and would love to someday work with a wildlife or sea-life rescue.

She lives in Waxhaw, NC with her 2 sons, 3 cats, and a tortoise named Turdaleigh. Growing up she has had a variety of cats, dogs, lizards, fish (fresh and saltwater), and an unofficial pet alligator. As a Florida native she spent time at state parks, springs and beaches allowing her to experience a variety of wildlife (dolphins, fish, otters, alligators, bobcats, storks, etc)
