Veterinarian Overview
Jacqueline Marcoux-Boriack. I grew up overseas in England and Singapore. In Singapore at the age of 12, during the summers, I started volunteering as kennel help and a tech assistant. We moved to the US when I was 14 years old. I attended High School of the Performing and Visual Arts with a major in dance. In 1988 I went to Ecuador for a summer to vaccinate dogs against Rabies with a group called Amigos de las Americas. I had, at this point, made up my mind that I wanted to work with animals in some regard whether it was going into endangered species research or veterinary medicine, however yet to decide. I attended UT at Austin and received my Bachelor of Science in Zoology with pre vet requisites. It was at UT that I committed my life to Christ. I then attended Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 1996. I met my future husband that same year. We were married four and a half years later. We have two children, a daughter now aged 13, and a son aged 11. We have one little Corgi-Chihuahua mix named Oliver and three cats. Honey-bunny is our big brawny male cat named by my daughter when she was about 4 years old, Hazel our chubby spoiled little bottle-fed Kitten, and Storm our delightful deaf clinic kitty. I have been a veterinarian now for 19 years. Over these years I have been honored to serve and to learn from each of my precious patients. I am so profoundly grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of so many families' lives and to be entrusted to care for their beloved furry family members. For fun I love to spend time with my family, read, travel, snorkel, sail, horseback ride, and go to the theater.The start of Egret Bay Veterinary Hospital was not your standard entrepreneurial business venture. Instead, it was a call out of my comfort zone, by God, to take me into a place where my faith would be greatly challenged and grow. I have never had any interest in business or material gain, so it seemed a very odd call for me. I finally surrendered my will, and said if you want this to happen Lord, you will have to make it happen. That's when an incredible journey of faith stretching, white-knuckled praying, and amazing examples of God's provision and grace began. I could literally write a book on the miracles that have occurred in this place! Two years later, under the shelter of His wing and much prayer, we have watched the Lord grow our family. We delight in offering ourselves to His service each day and it is our prayer that we would be a light to our community, a source of love, healing and blessing to those He brings though our door. We are excited to see what the Lord has planned and how He intends on using our lives for His glory
