Jesse Roberts, RVT, VTS (AA)

Jesse was born just outside Philadelphia PA where he obtained his Veterinary Technician license from Harcum College in 2007. From there he went on to work in the Emergency Room and Anesthesia department at the University of Pennsylvania before heading down to Florida in 2009 to work at a drive through safari park where he got to utilize his anesthetic skills in the field working with wild animals. In 2011 Jesse started his trek west and went on to work in the anesthesia department at the University of Minnesota where he obtained his Veterinary Technician Specialty (VTS) in Anesthesia and Analgesia. In 2013 to present day, Jesse moved to the left coast and started working at VCA’s flagship hospital in Los Angeles where he began their first anesthesia department which is still flourishing today covering anesthesia for multiple specialties and consistently producing VTS technicians in Anesthesia and Analgesia. When not on the floor Jesse likes to follow all Philly sports teams (which never seem to win), cook, and entertain for friends and family. Fun fact about Jesse he lived and played rugby in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa and his time there solidified his passion for animals and was a large driving factor for him to progress through out his career.
