Amethyst is the proud veterinary technician here at Clearlake Animal Hospital.

Her motivation and knowledge continue to grow every day, knowing that each pet that comes her way is in good hands. Outside of work, Amethyst’s main motivation comes from being with her daughter, Amelia, and watching her grow and learn things as well.
