Jess was born with two major goals for her young adulthood; become a registered nurse, and play collegiate ice hockey. At a small rural college in New York, she was able to accomplish both. Immediately following graduation, Jess began her nursing career as a hematology oncology nurse. She loved this field, but she always had a desire to do more than just treat, but also help prevent life altering diseases.

When Jess and her husband had the opportunity to move from the south to the PNW, this was the perfect time to combine her love for wellness with her love for nursing. Origin Medicine is the perfect place to begin this calling.

Jess lives in Tacoma with her husband, Stetson, and their two beloved hound dogs, Reba and Moco. In her free time, the fam enjoys any activity outdoors; skiing, hiking, paddle boarding, and anything else you suggest for her to try. Jess is thrilled to be here in Washington and cannot wait to assist Mitch in helping you reach your goals.
