My name is Andrea Montaño Hernández. I was born and raised in Mexico City, where I attended veterinary school at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. After graduation, I moved to the United States of America to pursue further veterinary training and then started my career path in animal welfare. I have always been passionate about animal welfare and helping animals, especially those who are in the greatest need. Working in the SF SPCA Community Medicine department allows me to provide care for these animals [citation][2].
