Southern Oregon has been my home since 1974 when I moved to Grants Pass after leaving Southern California and traveling thru the Midwest and Canada. I met my husband of 47yrs in Wonder Oregon. I am a Mother of 4 boys and 2 Stepsons. I have been part of the Medical Profession since 1986 .. when I worked at the old Southern Oregon Medical Center ER for 13yrs. I took a 2 year break and then went to work for Michael Petersen DO until his passing. From there I was hired for Hematology Oncology Associates for 16yrs, however I was not able to move forward with the Change to Asante due to not being vaccinated. I have joined a Great Team with NorthWest Family Practice doing their Medical Records, Referrals. And look forward to being here until I retire!

Jessica was born in Idaho and grew up in Utah. Her family moved to Oregon in 2008, and she has lived all over Southern Oregon since. She met and married my Husband in 2020 and has been blessed to be with her best friend every day. Jessica got into healthcare thanks to taking care of her Grandma at the end of her life before her Senior year of Highschool. She always told her she had the biggest heart, and it would be perfect to take care of others.

Jessica received her Certified Nursing Assistant certification in 2012 and worked as a CNA for 10 Years in both long term care and in-home care. In 2022 she decided to change from clinical to administrative and worked for Asante for 4 years. She decided she needed another change and wanted to work for a provider office, and Northwest Family Practice is now where she happily works! When not at work, she can be found with her nose in a book, playing video games with her Husband or relaxing at the coast. She is excited to see what the future holds for her while at Northwest Family Practice.

My career began in Title and Escrow. I did this for 20 years before hanging my hat up and going back to school to be a Medical Biller. I attended MTI College in Sacramento, California. I graduated at the top of my class and earned my Certified Medical Reimbursement Specialist credential through AMBA.

My first role after graduation was at Siskiyou Eye Center in Ashland, Oregon, where I gained valuable experience in eye care during my seven months there. I later returned to California and spent two years working for a Physical Therapy office in Roseville, CA.

Wanting to be closer to family, my husband and I moved back to Southern Oregon, where I spent six years in AllCare Health’s billing department, providing billing services for multiple medical offices throughout the Grants Pass area.

I find my work incredibly rewarding, especially when helping patients understand their medical bills and the claims process. I am truly grateful to be able to support my co-workers and patients every day here at Northwest Family Practice!
