Amanda is a Registered Veterinary Technician at Bayview Veterinary Center, specializing in Fear Free techniques and pet travel. Born in San Diego, Amanda has lived throughout the States as a child of a military father but decided her beautiful hometown was where she wanted to ultimately settle. A proud graduate of Mesa College Animal Health Technology program in 2015, she was inspired to pursue a career in the veterinary field due to her love of animals and medicine. Amanda is a self-proclaimed cat lady and is often heard meowing in the clinic. She has been around cats all her life and loves working with all types and temperaments of feline friends, as well as canine companions. She is a strong advocate for ensuring Fear Free techniques are used with every patient, every time. She learned about the intricacies of pet travel while on the job and continues to help others with compliance in traveling with their fur babies. In her personal life, Amanda enjoys reading, going to the beach, and gaming. She hopes to pursue her Veterinary Technician Specialty in Clinical Practice soon.
