Amanda earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Pre-Veterinary Medicine from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She has worked in small animal general practice, equine medicine, and small animal emergency medicine. While always looking for new opportunities to grow, Amanda is currently pursuing becoming a Certified Veterinary Practice Manager (CVPM) and plans to pursue her VTS in the future!
Amanda has dreamed of working in the veterinary industry since she was very young and feels as if she is living her dream! She hopes to inspire those around her to reach for the stars in their veterinary careers. Even after over 10 years in the field, her passion still drives her daily.
For the last four years, she has worked in emergency medicine as a technician, a practice manager, and a regional practice manager. Specialty is a newer chapter for her, but she is really excited for a new adventure!
She is a fur momma of two adopted felines, Bella and Rascal. (She is a repeat offender of being a foster failure!) In her personal time, Amanda enjoys horseback riding, hiking, skiing, spinning, traveling, and attending concerts. She is never one to sit still for too long!
