Dr Jennifer is from Beaufort, NC. After receiving her undergraduate degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University, Dr. Jennifer received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Upon graduating in 2004, she worked at Lombard Veterinary Hospital in Lombard, IL for 5 years before moving to Maryland and coming to Greater Annapolis Veterinary Hospital in 2010.

When Dr. Jennifer isn’t treating patients, she enjoys running with her dog, Nubs or reading books with her dog, Lexi.  She also enjoys traveling with her family, which includes her husband, Dan and daughter, Audrey.  She especially loves spending time outdoors at the beach or hiking in the woods with them.
