Hello! My name is Jettiene (Jett for short), I’m a senior, and I’m super excited to be a PAL this year! I’m pursuing simultaneous degrees in Molecular Environmental Biology with an Area of Concentration in Animal Health and Behavior and Integrative Biology with an emphasis in Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology. Outside of school, I’m a vet assistant volunteer at Oakland Animal Services, and I volunteer with the Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Hospital. I also work as a research technician in the Nachman Lab in the MVZ, which studies the evolutionary genetics and genomics of house mice. I'm a huge animal lover and this year I’m serving as President of the Wildlife Society at Berkeley and the Cal Pre-Vet Club, which are both super fun! After I graduate in the spring, I’m planning on taking a gap year, working as a vet assistant at my shelter, and applying to vet school in the fall! 

I’ve lived in the Bay Area my whole life. I really like being in nature, hanging out with my two cats Bee and Puppy, shopping (especially to add to my plushie collection), baking, karaoke, going to the beach, meeting new people, and hanging out with my friends. 

I was the academic advisor for Pre-Vet Club last year, so I’ve made a TON of personalized 4-year plans and I really love doing it. If you want one of those, or advice about double majors or sim degrees or minors, vet school, getting research or club positions or internships, resume-building, or just wanna chat about anything, I’d love to meet! :)
