Jacklyn was born and raised in Southern California. She knew from a young age that she wanted to work with animals. She graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with a B. S in animal science. Through internships, she fell in love with nursing in the veterinary field and from there, decided to become an RVT.
She joined Seacliff in October of 2016 and has enjoyed working here ever since. On her free time she enjoys hanging out with her furry babies, hiking, exploring new places and arts and crafts.
“I grew up in Westminster, CA and have always been surrounded by animals. Ever since I was in the 6th grade I knew I wanted to work with animals and help in any way that I could. I have a little zoo of my own with 2 dogs and 4 cats whom I love so much.
I’ve been working at Seacliff for the past 2.5 years and have learned so much during my journey here. Although it is not finished and I am excited to continue learning in the field and I am also going to school to become a RVT. On my free time I enjoy taking my pups to the dog beach, dirt biking and off-roading in my truck.”
