Manessa is one of our vet techs that helps to take great care of all our hospital and boarding pets. She was born and raised in Yah-Ta-Hey, New Mexico, and is a part of the Navajo Nation where she comes from a big family. She grew up caring for livestock and small animals and at a very young age, she knew she wanted to work with animals. After moving to Albuquerque, NM in 2008 right she attended Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute and graduated in 2011 a Liberal Arts Degree. In the future, she plans on going back to school for Vet Technician Program at CNM. In her time off she loves spending time with her daughter and husband, being outdoors going hiking, camping, and fishing.
