Meet, Alex! Your friendly neighborhood Sr. Clinic Manager for the Manhattan Beach & Playa Vista locations at Modern Animal.

Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to ensure every animal receives the best possible care, and we do it by always staying curious, & communicating with care. Whether it’s stepping in to help a colleague or sharing knowledge to solve complex cases, our team thrives on working together. We’ve created a culture where everyone’s input is valued, feedback is always welcome, and we support each other both professionally and personally. Hard work and compassion are at the core of everything we do, and our shared goal is simple: to provide exceptional care for pets while fostering a positive, uplifting environment where our team can learn and grow together. Simply put, at Manhattan Beach, we care for animals and each other, and that’s what makes us special.When not wrangling patients, or building unstoppable teams, you’ll find Alex belting out karaoke jams, crafting killer cocktails, or tending to a garden that’s just a few plants shy of a rainforest. Dedicated to animals, teamwork, and making work feel like family, Alex brings a lot of heart, humor, and realness to the clinic every day
