Jamie Nalvarte

Jamie has been an animal lover since before she could remember so working in the veterinary field seemed only fitting. Prior to joining BARC, she worked with animals and insects at the Natural History Museum, as well as several animal hospitals in general practice and surgery. Her passions revolve around animal care, fostering, bringing home elderly animals for hospice, rehabilitating wildlife, and volunteering with different animal organizations.

Outside of work, she is a wife and mom of 2, and you can find her cheering on her husband at jiu-jitsu tournaments in California and surrounding states and taking care of her 3 dogs, cat, several insect species, and an 85 lbs. sulcata tortoise. She also enjoys growing vegetables, cooking and baking.
