Lead Technician

Jessica D.

Hello! My name is Jessica, and I am one of the technicians here at Bay Moorings Animal Hospital. I was born in Paducah, Kentucky, but moved all over to North Carolina, Virginia, Hawaii and Tennessee.  I joined the Army at 17 years old and moved to Florida in 2012.  I’ve always wanted to work with animals. In fact, on my kindergarten interview, I answered "Veterinarian" when they asked what I wanted to be when I grew up!

I moved to St. Petersburg when my service with the Army ended in 2012. I bought a house in 2016 for my zoo, which includes my three dogs (Kira the Husky, Jeffery and Molly the sibling pit/labs), my parrot (Seze), my ball python (Draco), and my Star Wars themed fish tank! When I'm not at work, you can find me playing video games, relaxing at the beach, reading, or making something artsy.

I can't wait to meet you and your pets and sincerely look forward to bringing exceptional customer service to the BMAH clients and getting to know your 4-legged fur babies better!
